IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO SHIPS PROPELLED BY NUCLEAR ENERGY

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4764920

A ship with a nuclear propulsion plant is designed so that fuel charging or replacement may be carried out without taking the reactor out of the ship. The reactor is located in the forward part of the ship, and for the charging operation, the forward part of the ship is run into a shielded chamber and the bow removed for access to the reactor.
