Can a roughly 50 percent thermal-to-electric conversion figure be used for a naval reactor?
Short answerIt depends on the turbine and the costs and performance requirements accepted for the warship.
NotesA viewer suggests that modern reactor turbines convert about half their thermal output into electricity. That figure is not accepted as a universal conversion factor. A warship's turbine reflects different spending and performance choices from a civilian power plant, so the actual installation must be considered.
