		Reactors are designed by a variety of contractors, then developed and tested at one of three government owned or operated facilities (Naval Reactors Facility, Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory, and Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory), all under the management of the office of Naval Reactors.
		After the Skate-class vessels, reactor development proceeded and in the USA a single series of standardized 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.

	S6G reactor - Free net encyclopedia
		The S6GU.S. Naval reactors are assigned 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.
		S6G indicates a sixth generation submarine reactor designed by General Electric.
		The S6G reactor plant was originally designed to use the D1G core 2 reactor, similar to the D2G reactor used on the Bainbridge-class guided missile cruisers, rated at 148 MW.

	S6G reactor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The S6G reactor is a naval reactor used by the United States Navy to provide electricity generation and propulsion on warships.
		This nuclear reactor was designed by General Electric for use on the Los Angeles class attack submarines.
		The S6G reactor plant was originally designed to use the D1G-2 core, similar to the D2G reactor used on the Bainbridge class guided missile cruiser, which is rated at 148 MW.

	Portable Nuclear Reactor - Bad Astronomy and Universe Today Forum
		As for your question re small reactors, yes the reactor of some smaller dimensions is possible.
		The reactor fits in a space about 10m long, 10m wide, and 12m tall, in a space behind the crew quarters and infront of the machinery.
		But yah, I think that within the next 15-25 years, we will start to see nuclear reactors in space, though I think reactors considerably smaller do exist, it is probably to great of a risk to put them on subs, risking the enemy getting their hands on one.

	US Nuclear Propulsion - Archived 8/2001
		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.
		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.

		If so, the engine power of the nuclear reactor should be bigger than conventional to move them at same speed.
		I was talking about the case when they were same or very similar type of carrier, older units with conventional and newer ones with nuclear (was that te case?).

		An incineration of a nuclear weapon in a fire on board the vessel or the rupturing of the containment of the nuclear reactor which propels the vessel could see vast amounts of highly radioactive smoke being spread over a vast area of Melbourne.
		And since World War II up to 50 nuclear warheads and 30 nuclear reactors have found their way to the bottom of the ocean.
		Scenario 2: The accidental breach of a nuclear reactor: A fire involving the nuclear power reactor that powers the Omaha could result ion a similar poisonous cloud being dispersed in a similar manner to that outlined above.

		Based off of the weights of current space station modules and General Electric’s current S6G reactor that is used in our armed forces nuclear submarines the projected weight of the prototype would be approximately 45,000lbs.
		Inside the reactor core where the reaction takes place is radioactive fuel such as uranium or plutonium.
		Uranium is the principle element used in nuclear reactors and in certain types of atomic bombs.

	Slashdot \| A $200-Million Floating Nuclear Plant?
		Typical nuclear power reactors for feeding the electrical grid are in the 600 to 1000 megawatt range, not 60 MW, and most facilities have more than one (the Pickering and Darlington facilities near Toronto have 8 650 MW and 4 850 MW reactors respectively).
		The reactors aboard an aircraft carrier do more than just run the lights, they can push the whole thing at speeds in excess of 40 knots (how much in excess isn't exactly talked about -- but even that is more than fast enough to water ski behind!).
		A reactor accident is defined by a failure of the fuel system that releases significant amount of radioactivity into the environment.
