	Classified information in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Such information is "classified from birth," unlike all other sensitive information which must be classified by some authorized individual.
		While the classification of information by the government is not supposed to be used to prevent information from being made public that would be simply embarrassing or reveal criminal acts, it has been alleged that the government routinely misuses the classification system to coverup misdeeds.
		They suggest such a classification is intended to apply to information relating to things whose possible existence is to be denied, such as aliens, as opposed to things whose potential existence may be recognized, but for which access to information regarding specific programs would be denied as classified.

	Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While most NNPI is sensitive, the Navy recognizes that the public has an interest in environmental, safety, and health information, and that the basic research the Navy carries out can be useful to industry.
		Regardless of the above technical definitions, as a practical matter NNPI is explicity protected information and is not released without authority to the general public.
		The fact that NNPI-U is not "classified information" is a legal matter, but for all intents and purposes it is treated as such.

	Keith E. Loomis, Case No. VFA-0166, June 28, 1996
		Loomis with subsequent modifications to his request, Naval Reactors ultimately responded by releasing some documents responsive to portions of his modified request, withholding some material under the exceptions to mandatory disclosure permitted under the FOIA, and stating that other documents requested either were not found or were known not to exist.
		Naval Reactors determined that the portions of the document it withheld from disclosure contained "information related to reactor vessel design, evaluation, and analyses" that it identified as Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information (NNPI) and withheld under Exemption 3 of the FOIA.
		The Director of NR maintains that because Naval Reactors would be unable to control the further dissemination of the NNPI contained in the requested document if it were released to the requester or any other member of the public, disclosure of this information would be tantamount to disclosure to foreign nationals.

	SAFEGUARDING OF NAVAL NUCLEAR PROPULSION INFORMATION
		Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information, is defined as that information, classified or unclassified, concerning the design, arrangement, development, manufacture, testing, operation, administration, training, maintenance, and repair of the propulsion plants of naval nuclear-powered ships and prototypes, including the associated nuclear support facilities.
		Information concerning equipment, components, or technology which are applicable to both Naval nuclear and conventional propulsion plants is not considered to be NNPI when used in reference to conventional applications only, provided no association with naval nuclear propulsion can be directly identified from the information in question.
		Since the naval nuclear propulsion program and naval nuclear-powered ships are of critical importance to the defense of the United States, the technology used to design, build, and support these ships is an obvious target for hostile intelligence organizations.

	Classified information - dKosopedia
		Classified information is secret information to which access is restricted by law or corporate rules to a particular hierarchical class of people.
		In addition to this, information that is classified is often restricted in its dissemination based on the "need to know." In order to have access to classified information in the U.S. government, one must have both the proper degree of classified clearance as well as a need to know the information.
		While the classification of information by the government is not supposed to be used to prevent information from being made public that would be simply embarrassing or reveal criminal acts, it has been alleged that the government routinely misuses the classification system to coverup misdeeds.

	Keith E. Loomis, Case No. VFA-0104, March 25, 1996
		In its October 17, 1995 response, Naval Reactors withheld the containment layout plan, asserting that the plan "is classified CONFIDENTIAL since it reveals the arrangement of, and numbers of components in, a Naval nuclear propulsion plant," and withholding the plan under Exemption 1 of the FOIA.
		NAVSEA 389-0288 was determined to be Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information (NNPI), the disclosure of which is restricted by statute, and was therefore withheld under Exemption 3.
		In his review of the containment layout plan initially identified and withheld by the DOE, the Director of NR verified that the identified document was in fact the plan used by the radiological controls personnel during the relevant period to indicate radiation levels in the reactor compartment at the Windsor site.

		Having such detailed information in hand prior to arrival at the site allowed inspection teams to undertake a comprehensive evaluation in just 2 to 5 days because they could focus more on validating the information provided in the data call than on undertaking the time-consuming task of gathering data themselves.
		At a practical level, unclassified information is controlled or not controlled, depending on its sensitivity, any overriding public interest requiring release, or operational considerations involving the benefit of control versus the cost of control (for example, it must be shared with uncleared state or local government officials).
		All unclassified but controlled information concerning the design, arrangement, development, manufacture, testing, operation, administration, training, maintenance, and repair of propulsion plants of naval nuclear powered ships and prototypes, including associated shipboard and shore-based nuclear support facilities.[Footnote 30] U-NNPI documents will be marked and controlled as NOFORN (not releasable to foreign nationals).

	Navy Ship Propulsion Technologies: Options for Reducing Oil Use -- Background for Congress
		Compared to a traditional mechanical-drive propulsion system with two separate sets of turbines (one for propulsion, the other for generating electricity for shipboard use), an integrated electric-drive propulsion system can reduce a ship's fuel use by permitting the ship's single combined set of turbines to be run more often at their most fuel-efficient speeds.
		Naval Reactors estimates that building a nuclear-powered amphibious assault ship every three years or so could reduce the procurement cost of each nuclear- powered carrier (CVN) by about $65 million and each nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN) by about $20 million due to increased economies of scale in the production of nuclear propulsion components.
		Naval Reactors further estimates that if nuclear-powered surface combatants were then added to this mix of nuclear- powered ships, it would reduce the cost of each CVN by an additional $80 million or so, and each SSN by an additional $25 million or so.

	Air Independent Propulsion - Historical Speed and Modern Stealth \| Sub-Log.com
		Despite their initial successes, submarine pioneers were still eager to find some means to free their boats from the necessity of surfacing frequently for access to the atmospheric oxygen demanded by the gasoline or diesel engines that charged the batteries.
		Although major naval powers like the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union turned quickly to submarine nuclear propulsion as soon as it became technically feasible, smaller navies have remained committed to conventional diesel-electric submarines, largely for coastal defense.
		The Swedish builders, Kockums Naval Systems, tested a prototype plant at sea in 1989, and today, three Swedish Gotland-class boats are each fitted with two adjunct, 75 kilowatt Stirling-cycle propulsion units that burn liquid oxygen and diesel fuel to generate electricity for either propulsion or charging batteries within a conventional diesel-electric plant.
