Second Atomic Sub Joins Navy's Fleet
The Seawolf, world's second atomic submarine, was commissioned in Groton Connecticut joining the Navy fleet. It differs from Nautilus in size and operation using liquid sodium as a heat transfer agent. Sodium issues caused trials and commissioning delays with plans to operate Seawolf at partial power to prevent corrosion. GE officials say Navy actions may terminate further sodium cycle development for submarine use.
