history
development

the a1b reactor plant developed new gerald r. ford-class aircraft carriers replace ones used on predecessors, nimitz-class aircraft carriers. a1b nuclear reactor plant provides modernized technology both more advanced , adaptable previous reactor technology.


naming

the naming of reactors based on type, generation, , manufacturer. type of reactor use in aircraft carrier. bechtel corporation designed new reactors. have provided nuclear energy assistance united states government land based nuclear plants, have performed engineering and/or construction services on more 80 percent of nuclear plants in united states. first reactor have produced naval operations united states. these circumstances led naming of reactor.



a = aircraft carrier
1 = maker s first-generation reactor plant design
b = bechtel, company manufactures reactor

replacement

the a4w reactors have been main source of power predecessor gerald r. ford-class carriers, nimitz-class. these a4w reactors provide propulsion , electricity nimitz-class carriers. reactor plant has been criticized nimitz-class s biggest problem, electrical power generation capability. reactor plants limited in electric power generation necessary power modern electrical components. a1b reactor plant provides increased electrical generation capability, including large unused capacity future needs.
