Why run ammonia when you can just run liquid hydrogen? Why run liquid hydrogen when you can just run a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear marine propulsion is mainly used in naval warships, and it looks like there are some serious issues for their use in another context:

The serious issues in the articles you linked are essentially red tape and public perception, which have to be surmountable if we're taking global warming seriously.
I'm getting really fucking tired of seeing the fossil fuel industries' ~~cock~~propaganda in that person's mouth.
That's where most of the anti-nuclear sentiment comes from: because they don't like competition from a technology that is better than them in every way including cost of life per gigawatt hour...
Nuclear energy is only advocated by fossil fuel shills. It is perfect non-competitive solution to drill baby drill, because status quo for 15 years of development, followed by overpriced competition to fossil fuels after commissioning.
