Buongiorno and his team at MIT have suggested placing reactors on platforms similar to those used for deep-sea oil drilling. The plants would be situated between 8 and 12 miles from the coast at a depth of at least 100 meters. Power cables would run to switchyard facilities situated on land.
Being placed so far from land would help protect the plants against earthquakes and tsunami waves, which are relatively small so far out.
