It was shut down in March 1996 and later defuelled, the pressure vessel was removed in 2002.
The containment vessel, which housed both the primary (nuclear reactor) and secondary (steam plant)was referred to as the "DIG-ball" due to its shape [a Horton Sphere constructed by Chicago Bridge and Iron Works].
The sphere was originally constructed to house the plant for USS SEAWOLF (SSN 575).

Power output was doubled to 120,000 shp, with two of the reactors being used for each of the new carriers, giving a total installed power of 240,000 shp (the USS Nimitz is reported to have developed 260,000 shp in trials).
The reactor was redesignated Submarine Reactor Small (SRS), then later became the S1C for the land-based prototype and S2C for the service reactor installed in the very small submarine USS Tullibee.
Operational Reactor Development work was to include the design, development, test and evaluation of reactor refueling equipment and methods to support the initial SSBN-726 Ohio class refueling, the defueling of power units aboard CVN-65 USS Enterprise and the continued CVN-68 Nimitz class refueling.

The D1W reactor was intended to replace the pair of D2G reactors used in existing surface combatants and was intended to deliver 60,000 shp.
This family of reactors was not regarded as being efficient since reactor shielding weight does not decline in proportion to reduced power output.
In 1985 and 1986, reactor plant engineering, thermal and hydraulic studies were conducted, and the development of systems to ensure safe reactor operation continued.

A mixture of 4 parts of polybutadiene, 6 parts of ethylbenzene and 90 parts of styrene was mixed with 0.04 mole percent (based on styrene) of benzoyl peroxide and prepolymerized continuously in a tubular reactor at about 75.degree.
If higher solids contents were achieved in the prepolymerization in the tubular reactor, there was no fundamental change in the pattern of properties (compare Table 1).
The aqueous phase, and the post-polymerization details, were as in comparative Example C. A solution consisting of 1,600 g of styrene, 170 g of W1, 30 g of polystyrene with [.eta.]=0.252 (d1/g) in toluene, 1.8 of t-dodecylmercaptan, 2.2 g of Irganox 1076 and 1.8 g of dicumyl peroxide was prepolymerized at 115.degree.
