That's a good question. The primary reason that the Russians became so involved in nuclear energy for their icebreaking vessels was that, like us, they were dealing with a remote area, a limited infrastructure, and difficult supply routes. This is why they went with the nuclear approach. These vessels could operate year-round, continuously, without ever needing to resupply, apart from food, victuals, and crew.
Whether there will be nuclear vessels operating in our Arctic, I don't know. American submarines that nobody knows about might be transiting there. It's a question of whether there are nuclear-powered vessels. Right now there aren't any commercial vessels powered in that way, but vessels operating in our Arctic would be coming over from Russia. Those are the only ones right now.
