Got a high level security clearance?

I was wondering, idly, what the output from the modern generation of reactors in US Navy CVN's is. They are sort of mini power plants in terms of the land based business and l wondered what the economics of them are. Cheap or expensive relatively.

You know, a mini reactor on the out skirts of town or even at the bottom of thegarden. I'm guessing this useful data is oh so highly classified by those types who think the information threatens world stacability or something? Do you know... well do you?

T'would be an interesting heavy engineering project to stop-gap energy supplies until the ice melts and the rising sea level solves all humane problems.

ps. I am working flat out on a new cloud based project for all you Sysopters to enjoy. Stay tuned for Beta release of the new, totally original I-bore system. Coming to you very soon. For a free fee.:D

For a Boeing [BA] F/A-18C fighter jet it takes about four megawatts of power to launch using the EMALS systems. A fully loaded F/A-18F Super Hornet, the newer version of the Navy fighter, requires about seven megawatts of power to launch.

With the new reactor design, the new aircraft carrier will have available 104 megawatts of power above the ship's propulsion system's requirements. (http://************.com/p/articles/mi_6712/is_17_218/ai_n29005071/?tag=content;col1) page 2
