		Reactors are sited, designed, constructed, modified, operated, maintained, and decommissioned in a manner that gives adequate protection for health and safety and will be in accordance with uniform standards, guides, and codes which are consistent with those applied to comparable licensed reactors.
		Reactor Facility, unless it is modified by words such as containment, vessel, or core, means the entire reactor facility including the housing, equipment, and associated areas devoted to the operation and maintenance of one or more reactor cores.
		Reactor Operations are all those activities or functions involved in operating and using a reactor which, for purposes of this Order, begin with the initial loading of fuel in the reactor vessel and end with the removal of fuel to officially decommission or place the reactor in a standby status.

		During normal cruising, the reactor output may be reduced by orders of magnitude, although it probably isn't possible to completely turn off a large hypermatter reactor (like that of a star destroyer).
		Fuel feeding rates may be as highly variable as the reactor output levels, which could be raised or lowered by orders of magnitude within minutes (judging by the known feats and performance of particular observed warships).
		In a mishap, disruption of the reactor vessel starves the holes of fuel.

		FLORIDA’s S8G reactor, after more than 20 years of operation, will be getting a refueling that will be good for the remainder of the ship’s operational life.
		The SSGN conversion will involve modifying the 40-foot-long Trident launch tubes to carry 154 Tomahawk or new generation cruise missiles, installing diver lock-out chambers and landing pads for dry deck shelters and advanced SEAL delivery system, and extra berthing and storage for 66 special forces personnel.

		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.

		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.

		Utilizing a new, larger nuclear reactor, the submarine could effectively carry 24 Trident I (C-4) missiles.
		Powered by a 90,000-horsepower nuclear-fueled GE S8G reactor, the Ohio had an officially stated speed of 46+ kph (25+ knots), but analysts estimate that it can attain up to 74 kph (40 knots) for short periods.
		But neither the speed nor the diving capacity of the Tridents constituted their main strength: instead, their capability for stealth was unmatched in the world.

		You never hear anything about S8G (always a good sign) but the Tridents have had a very very good run.
		I think Soviet designs were made possible by their ability to have high power-density reactor plants which let them have a great frontal area and great drag coefficients and still get reasonable performance.

		Given their wide operational area (70 percent of the world's surface is covered by water), the SSBN represents the most survivable and unreachable "leg" of America's land, sea, and air nuclear deterrence tripod.
		Built to accommodate the Improved Trident I ballistic missile and relying on advances pioneered by the Narwhal's natural circulation reactor as well as the advanced sensor capabilities of the Los Angeles class fast attack submarines, the Ohio class SSBNs are the most advanced ballistic missile submarines in the world.
		As a result, only four of the original eight will be backfitted with the Trident II missile, while the rest will either be converted to SSGN cruise missile boats, Special Operations support ships (similar to the SSN640 class) or decommissioned.

		Sound Emissions: The 688s with VLS were the quietest Attack Boats in service with any navy during the 1980s, being far quieter than the Soviet Victor I, II, III and Alfa Class SSNs, and were suitable match for the Akula Class SSNs which were the standard nuclear submarines of the Soviet Navy at the time.
		Sound Emissions: The 688Is are among the quietest Attack Boats in service with any navy today, being far quieter than the Soviet Victor I, II, III and Alfa Class SSNs, and are more than a match for the Akula Class SSNs which were the standard nuclear submarines of the Soviet Navy during the 1980's.
