28
What type of design is the Reactor?
Pressurized Water Reactor
29
How does the Reactor produce usable energy?
HEAT produced from FISSION is used to create STEAM in the secondary that POWERS TURBINES for electricity and propulsion
30
What are some advantages of Reactor Power over fossil fuels?
- refueling only twice in the ships life (every 25 years) - allows more fuel to be carried onboard for aircraft - does not produce waste in to air that would make it harder for planes to land

39
What does ABT stand for?
Automatic bus transfer
40
What does MBT stand for?
Manual bus transfer
41
Why doe we use 4160V system?
Higher voltage, Lower current, Smaller equipment
42
What does EPCP stand for?
Electric Plant Control Panel
43
What is the Voltage Regulator Unit?
Regulates voltage and provides voltage droop characteristics to share reactive loading
44
