>same reactors for power generation and production of materials for weapons
This is mostly about the engineering capability for building submarine propulsion reactors, not weapons. Note the article never mentioned weapons. Sustaining that engineering capability through the lean years between submarine projects through power generation projects is seen by the pacifict environmentalist groups as a cross subsidy that they don't want to provide.

Supposedly the UKs are domestic designs with more stealth and penetration aids.
- arethuza 7y agoAh - my mistake - should have read the article more carefully! We could always do what we did the last time we forgot how to build submarines and simply ask the US how to do it?
