Indonesia plans to partner with Danish company Seaborg to deploy compact molten salt reactors mounted on barges, generating electricity offshore. Observers have called the plan inspiring, but critics note Indonesia's geography exposes it to rising seas, flooding and seismic instability, complicating the placement of critical infrastructure as the climate crisis worsens. The debate is drawing attention to how vulnerable nations balance energy needs with climate resilience.
Why now: People are weighing Indonesia's innovative nuclear barge plan against growing climate-related risks to its infrastructure.
