Reactor Components

Reactor Components under the Navy's Other Procurement budget activity, aims to fund long lead time nuclear reactor propulsion plant components for planned and emergent installation, as well as reactor plant spares for all operational submarines (SSBN, SSN, and SSGN), aircraft carriers (CVN), and moored training ships (MTS). The specific objectives include ensuring the availability of critical components for the Navy's nuclear reactor propulsion plants and maintaining a supply of spares for various types of vessels. These efforts are crucial for sustaining the operational readiness and effectiveness of the Navy's fleet.

The program's classified details are submitted annually to Congress in the classified budget justification books. The funding supports the procurement of reactor components essential for maintaining the nuclear propulsion systems of submarines, aircraft carriers, and moored training ships. By securing long lead time components and spares, the program aims to enhance the reliability and availability of these critical systems, ultimately contributing to the overall operational capability and readiness of the Navy's fleet.
