I'm not an expert, but I don't think nuclear reactors have much in common with nuclear bombs. Reactors are also "explode" only when are overhead, which shouldn't be a concern in sea. Also it'll operate far from where people live.

But very interesting concept indeed.

I am not concerned with it exploding in the ocean. I am worried about it accidentally hitting shore and strewing nuclear waste around humans. Or a fleet of them being tossed inland from a tsunami or something.

From what i understand molten salt reactors are quite safe as well .

Basically what corky said. I'm not worried about explosions.. I'm more worried about accidents that cause irreparable harm to fragile ocean ecosystems
