Reactor plant

S6G technically refers to the Reactor Plant configuration and not specifically the reactor core installed. This page should be considered renaming to S6G Reactor Plant or similar to help differintiate between various reactor cores intalled on the same plant configuration. For instance the first flight 688 class submarines with the SG6 plant had the D1G core 2 reactor intstalled while the rest or any that were refueled upgraded to the D2W reactor core.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Sean697 (talkcontribs) 07:12, 9 April 2006

Typically, the use of "reactor" encompasses the actual pressure vessel, the pressurizer (PWR), feedwater loops, etc. So I think that part is probably OK, although if the design also encompasses turbines as well then I guess it may need to be changed. My bigger issue is with your claim about having a different "core" (my guess is that they have a whole new pressure vessel... "changing the core" is accomplished every time the reactor is refueled) is that you have no source for this claim. This claim needs a source. --nbach 02:18, 13 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
This is probably a dead conversation but he means a different TYPE of core. Some had different pressure vessels, some were backfits. There aren't likely to be too many sources as a lot of it is vigorously classified. Protonk (talk) 19:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

130 MW

edit

The 130 MW rating is incorrect and can probrably be attributed to one of the outdated and incorrect sources for this article listing nuclear submarin reactors and outputs.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Sean697 (talkcontribs) 07:55, 9 April 2006

What an ... interesting ... claim. ➥the Epopt 14:39, 9 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
Do you have a source for this claim? Becuase we had a source for the 130 MWt number, which seemed credible. -- nbach 02:05, 13 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
Janes Fighting Ships uses the "official" numbers. Any other numbers are either wrong or are classified. Patris Magnus (talk) 19:16, 16 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
