In 1956, the first Soviet propulsion reactor designed by his team began operational testing.
3.
The propulsion reactors in those ships became the basis for the design of civilian power plants.
4.
The Brazilian Navy is currently developing a nuclear submarine fleet, and in 2007 authorised the construction of a prototype submarine propulsion reactor.
5.
One commercial plant, in Lynchburg, Va ., owned by Framatome Cogema Fuels, handles uranium that is more than 90 percent U-235, for naval propulsion reactors.
6.
The cylinders are filled with a poisonous radioactive uranium compound, the leftover of years of uranium processing for nuclear bombs, submarine propulsion reactors and civilian power plants.
7.
While land-based reactors in nuclear power plants produce up to around 1600 megawatts of power, a typical marine propulsion reactor produces no more than a few hundred megawatts.
8.
BARC also designed and built India's first Pressurised water reactor at Kalpakkam, a 80MW land based prototype of INS Arihant's nuclear power unit, as well as the Arihant's propulsion reactor.
9.
The U . S . Navy believes it has the best fuel for propulsion reactors, and it does not want the Russians to see it; hence Russians have not shown the Americans their nuclear fuel.
10.
He conceived of a nuclear fusion propulsion reactor for space travel, which is called the Winterberg / Daedalus Class Magnetic Compression Reaction Chamber, which was later developed at the University of Alabama at Huntsville's Propulsion Research Center.
