How does one write an article about early nuclear power at sea and not mention the NS Savannah? The mockup up reactor controls sat for many years at your favorite maritime school KP. It’s part of where the licensed marine engineers became reactor operators for that ship. By the time I went through there it was behind closed doors and started looking like some SF steam punk contraption. The Savannah was operated by US Lines I think but the story goes no body wanted a nuclear reactor pulling in to their port. It was supposed to demonstrate the peaceful uses of nuclear energy but proved the world was / is not ready for it.
