What could possibly go wrong?

Oh lots, but the basic thing is that it goes wrong where its not going
to do any harm,

Just sink the thing :-)

In deep water fish ALREADY glow in the dark!

The bit I liked the most is the utter self contained nature. So much
seawater you can use passive cooling, and it probably wouldn't have a
grid connection at AC at a;ll, just feed a big DC line. So if the grid
goes its still got enough power to run itself.

And even if it hasn't, with passive cooling it just shuts down.

Hard to reach esp. by greenpeace and other terrorists, and what could
they do anyway? cause alarm and panic 20 miles out to sea?

Modular built and towed into place, so cheap. No planning permission of
the local variety.

Store spent fuel rods in seawater ponds, or make fresh water by
desalination using waste heat.
