Abstract

The feasibility of using the steara-cooled heavy water moderated reactor for nuclear ship propulsion is discussed. The reactor is compared to the other reactors which are considered for ship propulsion---the pressurized water reactor, boiling water reactor, organic moderated reactor, and gas-cooled reactor. The economic aspects of each reactor are given along with the performance expected from each propulsion system. (N.Wom.R.)
