	New navy nuclear power & nuclear submarines
		While I know a great deal on the subject of nuclear power and nuclear submarines, I also know that much nuclear info is confidential.
		I am somewhat biased as I hate nuclear submarines and the new navy as they were at the heart of all destruction and emptiness my life once knew.
		The nuclear submarines chain of command was well aware of both of these issues.

	Submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nuclear powered submarines and other large submarines are classed as ships, but are customarily referred to by their crews as "boats".
		Submarines at periscope depth in clear water during the daytime are more easily detectable by aircraft that are directly overhead.
		Submarines did not have a major impact on the outcome of the war, but did portend their coming importance to naval warfare and increased interest in their use in naval warfare.

	Nuclear Submarines - CDI Russia Weekly #266
		There were several directions in the struggle: the number of nuclear cruisers in the navy, the nuclear capacity, their target and range precision, as well as the quality of nuclear energy installations - the capacity, weight, size, reliability, resource, noise and vibrating characteristics and so on and so forth.
		One shall acknowledge, the USA was ahead of the Soviet Navy for long from the point of view of nuclear submarines' number and their exploitation.
		By the beginning of the 1990s, it became known that the nuclear submarines race of the two countries was extremely burdensome and hopeless.

	Chap. 6: Decommissioning of nuclear submarines - The Russian Northern Fleet
		Since the middle of the 1980s, nuclear powered submarines have been taken out of service and prepared for decommissioning.[463] The first generation nuclear submarines that were taken out of service early in the 1980s and laid up is now being prepared for dismantling.
		The problems associated with the decommissioning of nuclear submarines were raised in the Duma on June 14, 1994, at the Commission for Emergency Action on March 14, 1995 and at two international conferences held in Severodvinsk on March 23, 1994, and in Moscow on June 19-20, 1995.
		A submarine of the Project 667 B - Delta-I class is reported to contain 830 tons of noxious waste, of which 22 tons are battery acid.[492] No economic guarantees have been given by the state for the responsible handling of this waste.

	Nuclear Submarines
		In the early 1950andrsquos, a contract was signed for the production of the first nuclear submarine in the world.
		Being similar to submarines developed after 1944, the boatandrsquos speed was greater underwater than above, it did not have surface often to replenish batteries, and could remain underwater for a length of sixty days.
		In the late 1970andrsquos, a new class of ballistic missile submarines or "boomers" as they were being called was being constructed.

	Under way on Nuclear Power (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The power plant of a nuclear submarine is based upon a nuclear reactor which provides heat for the generation of steam.
		During the operation of the nuclear power plant, high levels of radiation exist around the reactor, and members of the crew are not permitted to enter the reactor compartment.
		Nuclear propulsion enables these sub' to remain on patrol, hidden beneath the surface of the sea, always ready to launch their missiles.

	Nuclear-powered Ships
		Nuclear power is particularly suitable for vessels which need to be at sea for long periods without refuelling, or for powerful submarine propulsion.
		Russia built 248 nuclear submarines and five naval surface vessels powered by 468 reactors between 1950 and 2003, and was then operating about 60.
		Nuclear propulsion has proven technically and economically essential in the Russian Arctic where operating conditions are beyond the capability of conventional icebreakers.

	Russia
		Unlike diesel submarines, which require large amounts of heavy liquid fuel and have severe range limitations due to the need to resurface and refuel every few weeks, nuclear submarines can stay submerged for several months at a time.
		During the construction stage, oversight of nuclear submarines falls under the control of the Russian Shipbuilding Agency.
		In the case of the nuclear icebreaker fleet, the shipyards producing these vessels are joint stock companies, with most of the stock state-owned.

		Students will explore the uses of nuclear submarines, the dangers faced by their crews, and the legacy left to their generation by the Cold War build-up.
		Improving the submarine's ability to remain submerged enabled it to remain undetected for longer periods of time, and thus launch its weapons closer to enemy territory than ever before.
		In the nuclear age, submarine warfare was no longer restricted to the targeting of enemy naval and shipping operations.

	The Royal Navy - Nuclear Submarines
		He pressed strongly for a nuclear reactor to be reduced in size to fit inside a submarine.
		This was the first true submarine built for the Royal Navy and endurance was proved by a 12,000 mile underwater trip to Singapore in 1967.
		Modern, effective nuclear powered fleet boats with up to date technology, uprated ASW and increased capabilities were required to monitor increased numbers of potential enemy boats.

	Modern Nuclear Submarines
		The modern nuclear submarine in its 3 main guises is a stealthy, capable vessel, unlike it's WW II predecessors - as those that hunt them may find to their cost...
		A submarine launched cruise missile is a normal cruise missile such as Tomahawk which may have be slightly reshaped to be fitted into a waterproof capsule (encapsulated) so that it maybe launched from a torpedo tube or a specially designed vertical launch tube.
		Ballistic nuclear missiles are only carried by SSBNs and are a major part of the nuclear deterant held by capable countries over the last 40 years or more.

	Russia to Scrap More Nuclear Submarines - PRAVDA.Ru
		The first of these submarines, the multi-role 671 Yorsh vessel (or Victor-1 in NATO code) is already in a dry dock at the Zvezda shipyard in Bolshoi Kamen.
		The solid nuclear fuel had to be removed first and liquid radioactive waste generated by the reactor's cooling systems had to be drained.
		Only with that done, could the nuclear reactor be lifted out of the submarine and left afloat for many years to cool off and lose the induced radiation, with a place finally found for it to be buried in.

		In the nuclear-powered submarine an atomic reactor generates heat that drives a high-speed turbine engine.
		Atomic submarines, with underwater speeds of above 30 knots, can remain submerged for almost unlimited periods of time and have circumnavigated the globe without surfacing.
		In 1960 the U.S.S. George Washington was the first submarine to fire a missile from a submerged position; the same year the U.S.S. Triton became the first vessel to circumnavigate the world while submerged.

		Nuclear powers Britain and France must be included in any new efforts by Washington and Moscow to reduce stocks of tactical nuclear weapons, a Russian defence ministry official said on Monday.
		North Korea's agreement to disable its nuclear facilities by the end of the year is a hopeful sign but the communist state is a long way away from giving up its actual atomic weapons, analysts said Tuesday.
		Iran's nuclear dossier is a closed matter, the U.S. is in no position to launch a pre-emptive strike to halt the country's nuclear progress, and the Bushehr nuclear power plant will be completed as promised, the country's president said Tuesday.
