Defective Piping Delays Naval Nuclear Sub Prototype Tests
The Atomic Energy Commission said faulty piping similar to that used in the first atomic submarine Nautilus has been found in a land based model at West Milton New York near Schenectady and in the Nautilus prototype built in Idaho. Repairs and checks are underway with the Nautilus in Groton Connecticut preparing for trials but a failure during testing prompted a three month delay. The Navy ruled out sabotage and emphasized no evidence of deliberate wrongdoing in the piping issue.
