2. Nuclear-powered ship design
2.1 Stresses resulting from nuclear propulsion
Nuclear propulsion affects the operating conditions of a vessel (submarine, surface warship or merchant ship):
the technical possibilities of use are clearly improved by nuclear propulsion, but the nuclear ship is subject to constraints in its use that are not experienced by the ship with conventional propulsion;
reactor operation requires highly qualified personnel...
