The largest Navy reactor in use, the A4W reactors on the Nimitz class carriers, delivers about half the power of a typical US commercial reactor (550 MW compared to 1100 MW for the shutdown San Onofre reactors, and all the newer us commercial reactors are bigger). The Navy has given up using nuclear power on any ships other than carriers and submarines because of operational and training difficulties.

You were on the Nimitz for three years (or was it more?). And most of your time was on the flight deck (based on your stories about your Navy life). How much reactor operator time does a recruiter get?
You can try as hard as you want but you no longer have the advantage of
pushing down the TRUTH.....You're just a nuisance troll at this point.
You are going to embarrass your self silly here real quick.
Wrong again, sailor.
Keeping your streak alive...never right about anything. I commend your consistency.
It’s one thing for me to know so much more about finance and economics than you (and to have so much more), but I also know more about the military. Send someone else up here, dummy.
SUBSAFE was devised after the loss in 1963 of the USS Thresher, the lead ship of a more advanced successor to the Skipjack class. An apparent rupture in her pipes allowed saltwater to spray into the vessel, causing a chain reaction leading to a reactor shutdown, a failure of the air flasks used to surface, and the progressive flooding of the submarine. The Thresher sank with 129 aboard—amounting to the deadliest submarine accident ever.
" Messy " " Messy "......why do you set yourself up like this....
Let's just infer that BI retired 25 years ago ( which I'm pretty sure he didn't...! )
So that would be 1995/ Late 1994..
25 years earlier would be 1970/late 1969....he wasn't even wet
when " that " happened ya idiot....
By the way the USS Nimitz was " Commissioned " in 1975..
So 1975 + 25 = 2000
If we go backwards....
2019 - 25 = early 1995/late 1994.........
No matter which way you add/subtract ....yur an idiot " Messy "....
So I'll ask the question you should have initially asked....
Bruddah, what years did you serve on the USS Nimitz....
Thank You for you response.

Probably more than a reservist.

How many households does 1100 MW power?
Bruddah IZ
DA
94-96.

Hanapaa! I knew you wouldnʻt notice that the 82 nuclear power plants that are currently active Navy boats are accident free. I knew I would spool you two clowns with this.
Trying to claim accident-free nuclear subs. You were wrong. Have you ever been right?
Bruddah IZ
DA
BTW, how much reactor operator time do customers of Nuclear power plants get?
Bruddah IZ
DA
Yes 82 times. Reeeeead.
The default average "household" used in utility planning is 1 kw, or 24 kwh/day. Our little apartment users much less.
Why do you persist in ignoring Thresher and possibly Scorpion?
Bruddah IZ
DA
How many? Lol
He hasn't admitted to being wrong ever; but he's never right! It's just fun reminding him what a dummy he is.
Bruddah IZ
DA
Because AOC wants her zero CO2.
