Nuclear Marine Propulsion

Nuclear marine propulsion uses a nuclear reactor to generate heat, which then produces steam to power the ship's turbines and propel it forward. Unlike traditional engines that rely on fossil fuels, nuclear reactors provide a high, sustained energy source with minimal refueling needs. This allows military submarines and aircraft carriers to operate for long periods without refueling, offering increased endurance and independence. The technology requires careful safety measures and specialized infrastructure, but it delivers powerful, efficient, and reliable propulsion suitable for demanding maritime operations.
