Reresher training and on 24 October she departed New Londonįor her first deployment with the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean Of the year she operated from her homeport Then set a westerly course which put her into the Thames She received the Presidential Unit Citation Having completed the first successful voyage (EDST) she became the first ship to reach the geographic The Barrow Sea Valley 1 August and on 3 August ' as she departed the latter port 9 June. She began her history making Polar transit On 25 April 1958 she was underway again for the West To participate in NATO exercises and conduct a tour of variousīritish and French ports where she was inspected by defense Nautilus returned to New London 21 July and departed Which acquainted units of the Pacific Fleet with the capabilities of nuclear submarines. May she departed for the Pacific Coast to participate in Namesake in Jules Verne's 20 000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Trials followed and on 10 May Nautilus Her lines were cast off and she was 'underway Eisenhowerįollowing commissioning Nautilus remained at docksideįor further construction and testing until 17 January 1955. “It allows NR to utilize EM expertise to remediate NR environmental liabilities such as unused infrastructure and excess facilities across the complex, the first of these being the reactor prototype and ancillary support structures.1954 sponsored by Mrs. “This project is the first in a partnership between EM and Naval Reactors at the INL Site,” said Connie Flohr, manager of the Idaho Cleanup Project for EM. NRF is under the cognizance of the Office of Naval Reactors (NR), which entered into an agreement with EM to carry out the S1W facility demolition and other deactivation and decommissioning ( D&D) efforts. Known as the Submarine 1st Generation Westinghouse (S1W) prototype, the land-based reactor was built inside a section of a submarine hull at the Naval Reactors Facility (NRF) on the Arco Desert west of Idaho Falls. 1 This lead to the nuclear powered navy of the United States and other countries, as well as a handful of nuclear powered Russian commercial shipping vessels for. Department of Energy ( DOE) Office of Environmental Management ( EM) is set to deactivate and demolish the prototype for a reactor plant used for the first nuclear-powered submarine, a major step toward advancing environmental cleanup at the DOE Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site. The USS Nautilus was the first and only of its class of submarine as it was meant to serve as an experimental platform, proving the concept of a nuclear powered vessel.
