S5g Reactor
The
S5G nuclear reactor
, the fifth submarine reactor designed by
General Electric
, was installed as a land based prototype at the
Nuclear Power Training Unit
,
Idaho National Engineering Laboratory
near
Idaho Falls, Idaho
and on
Narwhal
(SSN-671)
. It was a natural-circulation powerplant intended to test the potential contribution of this technology to submarine quieting. Reactor primary coolant pumps are one of the primary sources of noise from submarines, and the elimination of coolant pumps and associated equipment would also reduce mechanical complexity and the volume required by propulsion equipment. Its design was the direct ancestor of the
S8G reactor
used in the
Ohio
-class submarines
.
