The interesting thing for me about Russia's newly announced nuclear powered missile and torpedo is the nuclear power plant in a box that drives them. The American authorities say they can't be bothered to utilize that approach. Maybe, but that shouldn't obscure that they couldn't begin to do it even if they wanted to.
I wondered how the Russians managed to do it. This article helps explain how. A decades long experience building reactors with a commitment to simplicity and extreme conditions safety.
I can just see the engineers in the silicon valley nuclear power startups expression if you ask them .......will it work upside down?.......
Excellent article about realism.
The West doesn’t want nuclear power. The technology of tomorrow is the eternal never.
That’s the point.
