S1C reactor, Nuclear prototype reactor in Windsor, Connecticut, US
The S1C reactor utilized steam turbines connected to generators that powered an electric motor, eliminating reduction gears for submarine propulsion systems.
Operating from 1959 to 1993, this naval reactor facility trained more than 14,000 operators and supported the United States Navy during the Cold War period.
The facility incorporated a structure named Castle Gray Skull, representing military engineering standards with specific disaster resistance capabilities.
The reactor complex included emergency backup systems with diesel generators that activated within 30 seconds during power interruptions.
After decommissioning in 2006, this location became the first nuclear reactor site to receive unrestricted radiological and chemical clearance.
