Construction of a promising American SSBN will begin in 2021

The US Navy seeks to reduce the cost of developing a promising SSBN (X) SSBN to replace Ohio-class strategic submarines through the use of Virginia strike nuclear submarine technologies, DoD BUZZ reports September 27, citing senior representatives fleet.

The fleet made adjustments to the program in order to reduce its cost, said Rear Admiral Richard Breckenridge, director of the systems of the US Navy underwater warfare, in an interview to Military.com.

12 prospective SSBNs should replace Ohio's 14 submarines. The development of the boat is carried out in the company Electric Boat, which is a branch of General Dynamics. Five-year R & D work has an 1,85 billion value. Excluding the design work, the cost of one SSBN should be 4,9 billion dollars (previously the price was 5,4 billion dollars). The construction of the head SSBN should begin in 2021 year.

The new SSBN will have 16 launchers of SLBMs compared to the 24 of the Ohio submarine, refueling the nuclear power plant only once before handing over the Navy, the estimated service life of the submarine 42 of the year (the SSBB Ohio has been refilled several times during the operation) . The number of new SSBNs - 12 units - is calculated taking into account the minimum requirements of the Navy in this component of strategic nuclear deterrence. On the boat, in particular, will be used spherical antenna GUS, mast / periscope fiber-optic data transmission lines, high-definition cameras, remote control with touch panels and joysticks used on the submarine "Virginia".

Next year, the number of US Navy SSBN combat patrols will exceed 4000, Breckenridge said. “Having a naval strategic component with 1960’s prevented the outbreak of a major war using nuclear weapons and gave the highest guarantees of security of our country, "said Rear Admiral. Meanwhile, the Russian and Chinese navies are building new SSBNs with nuclear weapons, Breckenridge warned.

“Submarines are almost an ideal second strike weapon; they provide the potential for a counterstroke in any circumstances. Sea-based missiles are more accurate than ICBMs and significantly more efficient than strategic bombers, ”said Chris Preble, vice president of defense and foreign policy at the Cato Institute (Washington, DC).

There can be many shoals, but the article is definitely pleasant!
One thing - "If the United States completely ceases to see the shores and send its largest armed forces in the world at us, we will simply swat the tank with a nuclear slipper like a cockroach in response." What is it worth!

"And this despite the fact that the average age of an American nuclear warhead is more than 30 years" - I read (although it would be naive to expect frankness in such matters) that the warranty period for Soviet ammunition was 7 years. Think about it.

[clidon]

I don’t know how to enjoy such humor.

The warranty period for any warhead is about 15-20 years, what we have, what the Americans have. That is why they are undergoing modernization. What do we have, what do they have. And that is why they are combat ready.

“Submarines are almost the ideal weapon of the second strike, they provide the potential for counterattack in any circumstances. Sea-based missiles are more accurate than ICBMs and significantly more effective than strategic bombers. ”

Mr. Admiral is disingenuous: according to their VM doctrines, SSBNs are the weapon of the first disarming strike, since the KVO at Trident-2 is of the order of 120-250м. Which is enough to create p = 200 kg / cm2. Such pressure is guaranteed to destroy silos, silos, etc.
Well, since 100% of combat-ready SSBN / RPKSN are guaranteed neither to us nor to them to track down and not to destroy in one fell swoop, then "they provide the potential for a counterattack under any circumstances." The "balance of fear" stopped the striped ones, not their peacefulness.

It is a pity it is not said what missiles and what else these boats will be equipped with.
And somehow I hardly believe in the 4,5 yard of greenery for the ship. The aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford will be launching 43 yards apiece recently.

[Turbo 253]

Ford-class aircraft carriers will replace the Nimitz-class ships developed in 1960. The Navy plans to spend $ 43 billion on three new aircraft carriers that will be equipped with advanced technologies "that are designed to create operational efficiencies while providing a higher departure price with reduced manpower compared to current carriers."

The Ford class will include "a new electromagnetic aircraft launch system for propelling aircraft from a ship," "an advanced aerofinisher to restore an aircraft"; updated "anti-aircraft missile systems;" "dual band radar that combines two radars operating on different frequency bands to provide air traffic control"; and other innovative technologies, including new power plants, water generation and waste disposal systems.

Potmou, that the reactor can be refueled by 40 lei and not be soared with recharging, creating infrastructure, personnel for it, etc. But this will not work with people.

[Misantrop]

Quote: clidon

the reactor can be refueled by 40 lei and not be sweated with recharging, creating infrastructure, personnel for it, etc.

Well, and what size will it work? By the way, on the Northern Fleet the entire infrastructure for reloading nuclear weapons is only ONE PM-12, it is enough for the entire fleet. Moreover, it was enough in the days of the USSR, when the overload of nuclear weapons was not a rare exotic. Active zones can be overloaded directly in the database, even it is not required to drive to the plant

[clidon]

And why should the reactor get bigger?

Now there are “PM-63” and “PM-12” at the SA (by the way 13100 tons of displacement!)
Technical transport Amur (8400 tons) and technical tanker TNT-12 (2300 tons).
All this has crews, technical personnel, plus it is necessary to periodically send fuel on rails for processing (to the Urals), where it is stored and maintained. Plus storage and transportation of fresh fuel. And for all this, the staff, and highly qualified.
And so all this headache is postponed until the cutting of the ship.

[Misantrop]

Here is PM-12 in Olenya. PM-63, judging by the photo, of the same type with her, in Severodvinsk. The technical tanker TNT-12 is needed for anyone, the drainage tanks of the 1st circuit must be drained into it, not overboard they are to be drained. And here it does not matter what the resource of the core, drainages during operation will still be, as well as ships for reloading cores, you still cannot do without them. And the crews on them - too. And if they work a little more often, then their qualifications are higher, right? Or, for each overload, to gather specialists "from a pine forest" who have neither sufficient qualifications, nor experience of working together, nichrome. And hope they don't screw up?

Quote: clidon

And why should the reactor get bigger?

Weird question. The fuel supply is five times longer, sort of, and it will take up more space. Not counting all the associated iron. If now the core has a volume of the order of a cubic meter, then ...

[clidon]

Yes, of course, you won’t be able to completely get rid of the infrastructure, but it’s one thing when it’s almost routine work, another thing is to deactivate the device only when disposing of the ship. That is, it is 4-5 times less work. You can keep one set for two fleets, transferring submarines to one recycling point, with one storage and one PM, rather than 4 as of now. Up to the missions of Rosatom’s specialists, we have not only the Navy who knows how to unload fuel.

According to the reactor:
The fuel supply is not necessarily five times larger. You can increase its enrichment, you can increase the percentage of burnout, increase the efficiency of heat removal using liquid metal media. You can have a lot of things.

[Misantrop]

Quote: clidon

it’s one thing when it’s almost routine work, another thing is to deactivate the device only when disposing of the ship.

This WAS routine work with the number of nuclear facilities that existed in the USSR. Decontamination, by the way, is required when the emergency (with broken shells) zone is unloaded. If it worked properly, almost all activity remains in it and does not spread along the contour.
In Rosatom, by the way, now the same mess as elsewhere. Some thieves. Their staff is supervised by a madam, who previously was in charge of the staff of the Metro chain of stores. One of the department heads is a former student of my friend (nuclear physicist). According to him, the dumbass is simply phenomenal. The rest are not much better. As for a single disposal point, there is one at the moment. It was created on the basis of the former Gremikha naval base by my immediate superior, Rear Admiral Valery Nikolayevich Panteleev. It is there that those zones are unloaded, which earlier could not be approached because of the outrageous activity. The storage area for the unloaded reactor compartments was created in another former base in Sayda Guba, where another colleague of mine was the chief engineer. Well, the third, until recently, was the chief engineer of refueling at PM-12. So I'm more or less aware of all these matters

Quote: clidon

You can increase its enrichment, you can increase the percentage of burnout, increase the efficiency of heat removal using liquid metal media. You can have a lot of things.

It is possible, BUT on a different element base and with completely different technologies. When they appear, it is clear that the installations will become noticeably more compact. In the meantime, everything is at the limit. LMC even in this form is not highly reliable, there are too many unsolved problems there. The water coolant is already at the limit (the "triple point of water" is too close). An increase in enrichment will lead to an increase in the swelling of the fuel mixture. And so - wherever you stick, any solution brings with it a bunch of problems that make the installation heavier and increase its dimensions. At the moment and at the current utilization rate, the service life of the fuel assembly is focused on the life of the nuclear submarine overhaul (which is why it was chosen)

[clidon]

Be that as it may, I think there is no need to argue that the infrastructure carrying out refueling operations is 8 times more frequent than in the case of "unattended" reactors. In the Russian case, this is at least the incapacitation of two, and most likely all three (non-acidic in size) PM-ok with the transfer of recycling work "to outsourcing."
As for Rosatom, whatever the ladies and other managers are, the organization is quite actively working with nuclear materials of all types (fuel production, production, storage of nuclear materials and isotopes, operation of existing and construction of new nuclear power plants) and, I think, can cope with the disposal of old transport vehicles.
However, initially, I recall, it is about the Americans.

Regarding LMT, of course, everything is vague - in Russia they have been running around with the Brest project for a long time, in the USA they put a pilot plant on the Sea Wolf, but I don’t know how the matter really calmed down. enrichment up to 45-70% and the effect is positive. In general, we have quite live "Virginias" with a water apparatus on board and a service life of 80. I do not think that "pulling" another half a dozen years of operation will be a big problem.

On Russian nuclear submarines, hatches are provided for this operation in the upper part of the hull, from where it is previously placed in a protective container (this operation is performed in the reactor compartment, everything is tight), the reactor fuel is unloaded with a special crane, and fresh is immediately loaded. There is no need to disassemble the case. If necessary, this operation can be performed at a regular pier. How to change on the US submarines, Backfire told us

Theoretically, yes, not one Fleet Commander would take such a risk. This operation is carried out on separate berths, not in a permanent connection base. With the necessary technical support. And authorized personnel carrying out transshipment. Otherwise, it will be like in August 1985, in Chazhma Bay, in the Red Banner Pacific Fleet.

amers and used a reactor with a period of 40 years. Interesting news. Does anyone know what the trick is?

The trick is that they managed to increase the percentage of nuclear fuel burnup up to 80%. At our first reactors, it was about 20%, so in 3 years - be so kind as to restart the zone (AZ). Now the time between overloads is 8-10 years. True, they try to do this during the period of average repair. The whole hitch and terrible "military" secret lies in the moderator, which allows you to evenly burn out the assembly to the end without losing the amount of thermal neutrons. And the resulting fragments do not absorb their overwhelming number. This is the area of ​​high technology, physical chemistry, etc.
And the rest (with minor inaccuracies), colleague Misanthrope correctly put everything on the shelves.

A rather small percentage of active zones was finalized until the campaign was completely exhausted; more often, they were forced to reload according to the maximum activity of 1 circuit due to the destruction of the fuel element shells (or fuel assemblies, depending on the assembly design). With moderators and neutron flux regulators, the problem was more or less managed to be solved already in the second generation. A much more pressing problem is the swelling of the fuel composition as the fuel burns out, whatever shape of the shells they have experienced. The Americans seem to have taken a slightly different path, since this problem has not been solved for them either. Judging if only because the assemblies of their Westinghouse swell regularly

[GSH-18]

KAA boa, Misantrop, thanks for the clarification! In my opinion, such a significant increase in the reactor operating cycle (from 3 years to 40!) Is either an original technical solution (in the reactor design) or a serious technological breakthrough (physical chemistry, radiochemistry). And perhaps both. The advantages of such a source of electricity are obvious (subject to the stated reliability) -not mandatory availability of the maintenance infrastructure of the base (or its minimal availability). Etc. It would be nice for the GRU to ventilate this issue.

Alas, there was a complete mess in Chazhma when they started overloading zones without any standard equipment for this submarine project, with the help of improvised means. Not that there was no special crane, they did not even bother to make a standard lifting trapezoid with a release rod under the compensating grid. And the movement in the water area was not blocked (the floating crane was rocked by the speedboat, which was how it all began). And on the Northern Fleet for this purpose there has long been a specialized PM-12 (made in Nikolaev). Another thing is that they are trying to time the replacement of the cores with the average repair of the nuclear submarine, since work is still needed to open a solid hull. The so-called "removable sheets" are cut out above the reactors (structurally adapted for this)

Do you need to disassemble the entire submarine? You invented it cool! Well this is how much dough you can capitalize!

but without fairy tales, the reloading of nuclear fuel into the reactor implies opening the compartment, etc., etc.
By the way, regarding the above, the respected Misantropom regarding the incredible size of the reactor, the active zone of which does not need to be changed for the entire service (as in the new states nuclear submarines)
I remember that on the first boats the active zone was changed almost every year. So, modern nuclear submarine reactors have a higher degree of enriched uranium (they could have achieved this before), but the engineering and fuel elements were not ready (in particular, due to zirconium deformation. Then get acquainted with the topic, boil the reactors a little, what, where and how and after how long core recharging required.
Reactors with a single charge of the core will be used on the new Amerov’s aircraft carriers.
Of course, fairy tales can be told about an infinite number of bucks printed, but the Pentagon is always trying to save money both by fixing June and using technical achievements from other projects, so they planned to build a message like 5.4 lard, and built 4,7 for normal. I would like to see something like that in RA that I wanted to spend 1 trill. , but let’s say it’s 800 billion, it’s just not going to happen, in Russia, in this respect, it’s the other way around, they wanted to meet the trillion, they’ve economized and kept in two

Comrades, I watched the news about the US budget, NASA goes on unpaid leave in the amount of 97% (???) of the staff, even I did not consider it that way? What kind of submarines can we talk about after that?

Over 1 million people have already gone on vacation. I am so wondering that 12-15 million mericatos would contain THEIR BEACHES. And let yourself sunbathe longer ...

On Russian nuclear submarines, hatches are provided for this operation in the upper part of the hull, from where it is previously placed in a protective container (this operation is performed in the reactor compartment, everything is tight), the reactor fuel is unloaded with a special crane, and fresh is immediately loaded. There is no need to disassemble the case. If necessary, this operation can be performed at a regular pier. How to change on the US submarines, Backfire told us

approx.
we call things differently.
dismantling of removable sheets / two - PB and LB / - is not there a partial analysis of the case? the sheets have a set of stamps, and this operation does not take two hours.
and yes - I have not heard about the "need" to replace the active zone at the pier. I repent. on tf, all the old 675s / and not only / projects were overloaded in chazhma.
