Rolls-Royce PWR : ウィキペディア英語版 | Rolls-Royce PWR The Rolls-Royce pressurised water reactor (PWR) series has powered British nuclear submarines since the ''Valiant'' class, commissioned in 1966. The first British nuclear submarine, HMS ''Dreadnought'', was powered by a Westinghouse S5W reactor. == PWR1 ==
The first British naval reactor, the PWR1, utilising a core and reactor assembly of purely British design〔Daniels, R.J, p.135-136, ''The End Of An Era: The Memoirs Of a Naval Constructor'', Periscope Publishing Ltd, 2004, ISBN 1-904381-18-9〕 went critical in 1965. Technology transfers under the 1958 US-UK Mutual Defence Agreement eventually made Rolls-Royce entirely self-sufficient in reactor design in exchange for a "considerable amount" of information regarding submarine design and quietening techniques being passed on to the USA.〔p.529, ''Conway's All The World's Fighting Ships'', US Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, 1996, ISBN 1-55750-132-7〕 Rolls Royce and Associates at Derby became the centre for design and manufacture of the reactors. The Ministry of Defence's Vulcan Naval Reactor Test Establishment, at Dounreay, tested each reactor prior to its installation in nuclear submarines.
