nuclear marine propulsion

Conceptual analysis of nuclear marine propulsion started in the 1940s.

Nuclear marine propulsion is, with few exceptions, used only in naval vessels.

Gadolinium is also used in nuclear marine propulsion systems as a burnable poison.

After 1950, Dollezhal focused on nuclear marine propulsion.

The following are ships that are or were in commercial or civilian use and have nuclear marine propulsion.

Nuclear marine propulsion is propulsion of a ship by a nuclear reactor.

Lloyd's Register is investigating the possibility of civilian nuclear marine propulsion and rewriting draft rules.

Submarines were mainly powered by a combination of diesel and batteries until the advent of nuclear marine propulsion in 1955.

Many military and some civilian (such as some icebreaker) ships use nuclear marine propulsion, a form of nuclear propulsion.

While not all of these were reactor accidents, they have a major impact on nuclear marine propulsion and the global politics because they happened to nuclear vessels.

Heat produced from the S6G reactor converted water into steam, powering two turbines, and thus the propeller shaft (see Nuclear marine propulsion).

In the latter half of the 20th century, various vessels, notably aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, and nuclear-powered icebreakers, made use of nuclear marine propulsion.

Following efforts by physicists Ross Gunn, Philip Abelson and others in the Manhattan Project, he became an early convert to the idea of nuclear marine propulsion.

Until the advent of nuclear marine propulsion, most 20th-century submarines used batteries for running underwater and gasoline (petrol) or diesel engines on the surface, and for battery recharging.

Dry dock No. 1 was designated the West Coast of the United States Nuclear marine propulsion powered aircraft carrier (CVN) emergency dry dock.

The 'S6G reactor' is a United States Naval reactor used by the United States Navy to provide electricity generation and Nuclear marine propulsion on warships.

Soon after his U.S. Navy service during World War II, Admiral Hyman G. Rickover became an early convert to the idea of nuclear marine propulsion.

'USS 'Dallas' (SSN-700)' is a Los Angeles class submarine Nuclear marine propulsion attack submarine of the United States Navy.

They either generate electricity that powers electric motors connected to the propeller shaft or rely on the reactor heat to produce steam that drives steam turbines (cf. nuclear marine propulsion).

Under the direction of Admiral (then Captain) Hyman G. Rickover, the design, development and production of nuclear marine propulsion plants started in the USA in the 1940s.

Experiences from the nuclear icebreakers operating on the Northern Sea Route since the mid-1950s had shown the advantages of nuclear marine propulsion in the ice-infested waters of the Russian Arctic.

Work was also strongly researched in the US on nuclear marine propulsion, with a test reactor being developed by 1953 (eventually, the USS Nautilus, the first nuclear-powered submarine, would launch in 1955).

It has a good record in nuclear safety, perhaps because of the stringent demands of Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, who was the driving force behind nuclear marine propulsion as well as the Shippingport Reactor.

In surface ship nuclear marine propulsion, the differentiation between full speed and flank speed is of lesser significance, because these machines can be run at or very near their true maximum speed for virtually unlimited periods of time.

Most capital ships of the major navies were propelled by steam turbines in both World Wars and nuclear marine propulsion systems aboard warships, submarines, and such vessels as the NS Savannah relied on turbines as well.
