  United States Naval reactor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
United States Naval reactors are given three-character designations consisting of a letter representing the ship type the reactor is designed for, a consecutive generation number, and a letter indicating the reactor's designer.
After the Skate-class vessels, reactor development proceeded and in the USA a single series of standardised designs was built by both Westinghouse and General Electric, one reactor powering each vessel.
A marine reactor was used to supply power (1.5 MWe) and heating to a US Antarctic base for ten years to 1972, testing the feasibility of such air-portable units for remote locations.

 A1W reactor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A1W nuclear reactor was a Westinghouse-built naval reactor power plant, installed in the desert of Idaho.
This reactor plant, was actually two reactors operated in tandem so that the steam produced by both reactors was used to power one turbine connected to a drive shaft.
The A1W designation means that it was the prototype for the first aircraft carrier designed by Westinghouse.

There the heat from the reactor coolant water is transferred, through tube walls, to water being fed into the steam generators from a separate feed system.
In the A1W and A2W systems, the pressurized water reactor coolant is kept between 525 and 545 °F (274 and 285 °C).
Once the reactor coolant water has given off its heat in the steam generators, it is returned, via large electric pumps (four per reactor), to the reactors to repeat the cycle.

Taymyr-class icebreakers with one reactor are being built in Finland and then fitted with their nuclear steam supply system in Russia.
Reactor sizes range up to 190 MWt in the larger submarines and surface ships.

 Nuclear Propulsion
For submarines, the reactor compartment is a horizontal cyhder formed by a section of the ship’s pressure hull, with shielded bulkheads on each end.
Reactor coolant carries some of these radioactive products through the piping systems where a portion of the radioactivity is removed by a purification system.
The submarine thermal reactor prototype was constructed in 1951 and shut down in 1989; the large ship reactor prototype was constructed in 1958 and shut down in 1994; and the submarine reactor plant prototype was constructed in 1965 and shut down in 1995.

The `In Wonderland' part comes from the nickname of the A1W prototype training reactor plant at the Naval Reactors Facility, Idaho National Engineering Laboratories; outside of Idaho Falls, Idaho.
A1W was the USS ENTERPRISE prototype reactor plant.
A1W was known to staff and students alike as "Alice In Wonderland," and if you were ever to tour the plant for the first time you would feel a little like Alice through the looking glass.

 The SL-1 Accident [Ztuff]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The U.S. Army operated a small reactor out in the Idaho desert (at the National Reactor Testing Station) that was intended to be used for powering remote radar stations to be used in the early warning system.
For various reasons, there was an accident that claimed the lives of all three technicians, required the complete disassembly of the plant and in many good ways, significantly influenced the way that military nuclear facilities were operated.
None of this is stopping INEEL from doing new research and development on Generation IV reactors as the DOE puts it.

 Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for Tritium Supply and Recycling
The reactor vessel and cooling system configuration (with primary and secondary cooling loops) would be similar to that used in commercial light water reactor nuclear power technology.
Less than 10 percent of the reactor heat would be generated in the moderator space because of gamma heating; the bulk of the heat would be generated in the core.
The heat dissipation system would ensure that the reactor is cooled by the flow of water circulated through the core in a closed primary loop under pressure through the reactor vessel and through coolant pipes connected in parallel to heat exchangers.
