Q

How does the reactor produce usable energy?

A

Heat produced from fission is used to create steam; steam powers the turbines for electricity and propulsion

28
Q

What are the advantages of reactor power over fossil fuel?

A

-refueled only twice in a ship’a life-allows more fuel to be carried on board-does not release exhaust in the air that would make it harder for planes to land

29
Q

What does RC stand for?

A

Reactor Controls

30
Q

What does RE stand for?

A

Reactor Electrical

31
Q

What does RL stand for?

A

Reactor Laboratory

32
Q

What does RM stand for?

A

Reactor Mechanical

33
Q

What does RA stand for?

A

Reactor Auxillaries

34
Q

Classify our type of reactor

A

-Double reduction-Double helical-Articulated-Locked train-Folded

35
Q

What does GV stand for?

A

Guard Valve

36
Q

What does Trailed Shaft mean?

A

Main engine guard valve is shut

37
Q

What does ABT stand for?

A

Automated Bus Transfer

38
Q

What does MBT stand for?

A

Manual Bus Transfer

39
Q

Why do we use a 4160V system?

A

Higher voltage, lower current, less equipment

40
Q

What does EPCP stand for?

A

Electrical Plant Control Panel

41
Q

What is the Voltage Regulator Unit?

A

Regulates voltage and provides voltage droop characteristic to share reactive loading

42
Q

How does nuclear fission produce energy?

A

Neutron absorbed by uranium splits into neutrons, protons, and gammas
