My thoughts upon reading the article are that it might be a good idea to
have a few of these floating nuclear power plants built and ready to use
should we ever need them in an emergency.

Like for the day after the Big One hits California and everything east
of the San Andreas Fault slips into the Atlantic? Yeah, the quake
might have scrammed San Onofre...

I much prefer the small amount of nuke waste to the crap the coal
fired plants put into the atmosphere. Hell, if we switched our power
production mainly to nukes, we even could have met the Kyoto Protocol
requirements with no other changes (not that the protocol would have
done any good whatsoever.)
