Nuclear Submarine Maintenance

Nuclear submarine maintenance involves regular inspections, repairs, and upgrades to ensure the vessel's safety, reliability, and operational readiness. This complex process includes checking the nuclear reactor—ensuring it functions safely, cleaning systems, replacing worn parts, and upgrading technology. Maintenance occurs during designated dock periods or at sea, following strict protocols to manage radiation safety and system integrity. Skilled technicians, engineers, and scientists work together to keep the submarine in peak condition, balancing urgent repairs with long-term technological enhancements to extend its operational lifespan and ensure mission readiness.
