Chapter 1137: Chapter 558 Zhao Yi: Nuclear Fusion is Controllable!_2

The advantage of this approach is that the technology for nuclear submarine reactors is mature and reliable, with relatively high safety. The downside, however, is that the icebreaker reactors have become mere test reactors for submarine units. When the time comes to develop reactors for surface vessels, due to technical difficulties and time constraints, one can only resort to developing derivative models based on submarine reactor technology. As a result, due to insufficient power, fuel boilers must be added to supplement the demand, ensuring the vessel's high speed.

Country E's Kilov-class is an example of the rare vessels that use nuclear-steam combined propulsion, fundamentally because of the insufficient power of the nuclear reactors.

M Country is the only nation with a perfected nuclear reactor technology for vessels.

Their newly constructed large aircraft carriers only require two reactors to maintain high-speed navigation and can continue to operate for decades.
