Reactor

Question 1

Who was the father of Naval Nuclear Power

Answer 1

Admiral Hyman G. Rickover

Question 2

What was the first naval nuclear powered vessel

Answer 2

USS Nautilus

Question 3

What was the first nuclear powered ship

Answer 3

USS Long Beach

Question 4

What was the first naval nuclear powered aircraft carrier

Answer 4

USS Enterprise

Question 5

Describe the flowpath of heat through the reactor system

Answer 5

Reactor heats primary coolant. Primary coolant heats secondary water inside the steam generators. Secondary water turns to steam. Steam performs work on major steam loads (SSTG, CTG, Main Engines, Catapult, Reboiler). Steam is condensed into water. Water is fed to DFT. Then fed through Main Feed Pumps. Main Feed Pump feeds water back to steam generators.
