Nuclear power reactorsare typically categorized in generational terms, reflecting evolutionary changes in design, size, and operational uses. Generation I reactors, the earliest to be developed in the 1950s and 1960s, were typically small (often based on submarine designs), with few still in operat...
there still remains at the forefront despite needing a sealed coolant system because of the possibility of sodium-water reaction, This was one of reason why the sodium-cooled reactor has not fully employed by submarine technology for USS Seawolf, which was initially intended a sodium-cooled nuclea...
