I'm getting bleary eyed from a day that has gone on too long, but how does something approximately 33x33x42 feet equal 140k ft^3? Same question with the first one too. The cubic-feet measurement is including something else, right? What might that be?
- tyingq 10y agoOops...thanks for the catch. Used diameter instead of radius when calculating the volume of each cylindrical object. So, the cubic footage is off...but for both. So, corrected: For comparison, the reactor described here outputs 50 megawatts, and is 15 feet in diameter and 76 feet long (~13,500 cubic feet). The S6G reactor in Los Angeles class submarines outputs 150 megawatts and is 33 feet in diameter and 42 feet long (~35,000 cubic feet).
- ci5er 10y agoYeah -- I figured that out after I caught a little shut-eye. If my brain had been operating at all, I would have seen that and not even asked. Sorry.
