...prototype STR began to take shape in the desert near Arco, Idaho. The designing and testing (with 50-ft models) of the submarine itself were well along in the Bureau of Ships...
Since then there have been few announcements of progress on STR, but its undercover success has been phenomenal. It produces more power than it was designed for. It has given little trouble and has proved compatible with the mock-up submarine that was built around it. So much has been learned by its frequent operation that the second model, which will actually go into the Nautilus, is an even better reactor...
Peaceful Payoff. At present, nuclear reactors do not seem to be practical competition for conventional sources of power. But the Idaho tests of the STR showed ways to save large sums of money in building the second model. Other savings are in prospect. Eventually, Rickover thinks, nuclear reactors will spread from the submarines and find profitable jobs on land...
