核动力舰船发展前景展望

Prospects for the development of nuclear power warships

对以核动力航空母舰及核潜艇为代表的核动力舰船的技术特点及其技术发展进行介绍,重点对其未来应用前景进行了展望。核动力装置可有效提升舰船的续航能力及自持力,同时节省了燃料空间,从而可携带更多武器弹药并提升作战能力,一定程度上也可改善全舰的隐蔽性。尽管目前依然存在成本高昂及核安全等诸多技术难题,但随着相关技术的不断发展与完善,核动力舰船必将在海防领域起到重要作用。

This paper introduces the technical characteristics and technical development of nuclear-powered ships represented by nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines, with a focus on its future application prospects. The nuclear power plant can effectively improve the ship's endurance and self-sustaining power, while saving fuel space, so that it can carry more weapons and ammunition and improve combat capability, and to some extent, improve the concealment of the entire ship. Although there are still many technical problems such as high cost and nuclear safety, with the continuous development and improvement of related technologies, nuclear-powered ships will play an important role in the coastal defense field.
