I don’t know a lot about submarines, but I do know a lot about safely designing pressure vessels. And a submarine is a pressure vessel. I was inspired to write about this after watching an ...

And quite frankly, the new reactor designs ... a small US Navy nuclear submarine than a submersible. She displaced about 400 tons, was about 150 feet long with a pressure hull less than 12 feet ...

In this design, primary circuit components are placed within the reactor pressure vessel, eliminating the need for primary circuit pipework, with the intention of enhancing safety and reliability.

Work to segment and package the steel reactor pressure vessel head of the Brunsbüttel nuclear power plant in Germany has been completed in less than two months, Vattenfall announced. The metal will ...

Right now, there’s at least one nuclear-power, nuclear-armed submarine stealthily patrolling the waters off the UK. The sub is powered by a nuclear reactor ... The vessels are the backbone ...

Images taken by the robot under the No. 1 reactor at the plant also confirmed heavy damage to a concrete “pedestal” under the pressure vessel. The inspection by the robot started on March 29.
