[Vo]:CBI to decommission floating reactor
CBI to decommission floating reactor 14 April 2014 The USA's only floating nuclear power plant will be decommissioned by CBI under a $34.7 million contract. The MH-1A reactor provided power to the Panama Canal zone before being shut down in 1976. http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/WR-CB-and-I-to-decommission-floating-reactor-1404147.html Harry

I suppose they forgot about aircraft carriers and submarines. :-) On Wed, Apr 16, 2014 at 1:01 PM, H Veeder hveeder...@gmail.com wrote: CBI to decommission floating reactor 14 April 2014 The USA's only floating nuclear power plant will be decommissioned by CBI under a $34.7 million contract.

I didn't see the word 'stationary'. On Wed, Apr 16, 2014 at 3:40 PM, leaking pen itsat...@gmail.com wrote: stationary floating.

Yeah they could have mentioned that the US military operates other floating nuclear power reactors although this particular reactor provided power for both military and civilian uses.

Re: [Vo]:CBI to decommission floating reactor
I think it was an Army designed reactor not unlike the ones the Army developed for use in Antarctica.Those first reactor vessels saw a lot of neutron embrittlement of the reactor vessel. The material form those early vessels was used to determine low alloy steel fracture mechanics properties, fracture toughness, as a function of neutron flux. The vessel from Panama probably should be investigated, however, it won't be because the Army does not want to know what the margin to failure was. The fact that it worked and did not fail was good enough. Fracture toughness in the high flux/high stress part of the reactor and ultrasonic investigation for defect size and orientation is all that is needed. The Navy has submarine prototype reactors that may be stationary floaters also.
