The S6W reactor produces comparable power output, just with traditional uranium instead of thorium. Although thorium might be cheaper and safer, capability-wise it doesn’t really change anything, right, when comparing apples to apples? This doesn’t in itself mean Chinese ships can now do laps around the fastest US ships. I’m not knowledgeable about this so feel free to correct me on that. I just haven’t found anything indicating a military advantage so far.
What new capabilities does this reactor type offer?
