So, I would say "ban this guy and delete his messages". The quality of a forum is crucial to attract people like us or just curious. With guys like that, which make people losing their time, the quality decreases.
This will also send the following message to agencies which send agents like that one on free forums : "it doesn't work".

Ditto that nuclear missiles worked in the past, or do now - a possibility since navigation and electronics are infintely improved.
NuclearSubmariner - you've had 8 post and the same comment applies..

While attending John Marshall High School in Chicago, from where he graduated with honors in 1918, Rickover held a full-time job delivering Western Union telegrams, through which he became acquainted with U.S. Congressman Adolph J. Sabath. By way of the intervention of a family friend, Sabath, himself a Czech Jewish immigrant, nominated Rickover for appointment to the United States Naval Academy. Though only a third alternate for an appointment, through disciplined self-directed study and good fortune the future four-star admiral passed the entrance exam and was accepted.[8][9]

Seems like a long way around to get something to move.
Why not just heat water with the reactor to make steam, and run the steam out the back to give the sub propulsion?
BNSF9647 wrote:Yeah exactly. Why that roundabout way just to generate steam? not to mention so called reactors poor thermal efficiency. Which is documented per say to be only around 27%. So how do they come up with this fantasy number of 25-30 years between refuels?
