	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.

		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.
		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.

		Control rods are used to control the operation of the reactor.
		Extracting the rods allows the reactor to reach "criticality" - the point at which the nuclear fission reactions reach a self-sustaining level.
		As the water heats up, it expands and provides fewer molecules per volume to moderate the neutrons, hence fewer neutrons are slowed to the required thermal energies to sustain fission.

		* A = Aircraft Carrier * 2 = The second in the series (A1W was the prototype at the Reactor Testing Station in Idaho) * W = Westinghouse was the prime contractor that designed the reactor.
		In the steam generators, the water from the feed system is converted to steam at 535 °F (279 °C) and a pressure of about 600 lb/in² (4 MPa).
		Saturated steam at 600 lb/in² (4 MPa) is channeled from each steam generator to a common header, where the steam is then sent to the main engine, electrical generators, aircraft catapult system, and various auxiliaries.

		The long core life is enabled by the relatively high enrichment of the uranium and by incorporating a "burnable poison" in thecores which is progressively depleted as fission products and actinides accumulate, leading to reduced fuel efficiency.

	Projects \| Review - Issue 4
		Currently, the United States and the United Kingdom use "weapon-grade" uranium containing more than 93 percent uranium-235 (U-235) to fuel their naval reactors, and Russia uses HEU containing more than the 20 percent U-235, defined by international agreement to be the threshold for direct weapons-usability.
		Those countries currently using HEU in military reactors could fuel their reactors during a several-decades-long transition period with HEU recovered from excess nuclear warheads.
		Although hundreds of tons of excess military HEU are being transferred by Russia and the United States to civilian use, virtually all of this HEU is being blended down to LEU for use in power-reactor fuel.

		On 19 January 1971 she completed sea trials with her newly-designed nuclear reactor cores which contained enough energy to power her for the next 10 years.
		Partially due to her association with her famous World War II forebear and partially due to the association of her name with the television series Star Trek, Enterprise is quite possibly the most famous vessel in the entire United States Navy.
		The truth was somewhat more prosaic: Since the ship carried eight nuclear reactors, she could get up full steam almost immediately, allowing her to accelerate far more quickly than any other ship until the introduction of the naval gas turbine in the early 70s.

		The U.S. Navy pioneered the use of nuclear reactors aboard naval vessels; today, they power most U.S. aircraft carriers and submarines.
		A nuclear reactor is a device in which nuclear chain reactions are initiated, controlled, and sustained at a steady rate (as opposed to a nuclear explosion, where the chain reaction occurs in a split second).
		An aircraft carrier is a warship whose main role is to deploy and recover aircraftâ€”in effect acting as a sea-going airbase.

	Generator question - Debunkers
		For nuclear reactors, the amount of work to process uranium is small compared to the work output of a reactor providing a much higher efficiency compared to fossil fuel.
		The primary difference manning difference was that reactor operators and reactor technicians replaced boiler operators and an officer (usual with an engineering degree) supervised each engine room for reactor operation.
		Since the first nuclear reactors, their have been great advances in the design of the cores for nuclear reactors.
