Niskayuna is the primary site for the KAPL, focusing on the design and development of naval propulsion plants and reactor cores. The West Milton site operates land-based prototypes of shipboard reactor plants. This site is also used to train officers and enlisted personnel for the U.S. Navy's fleet of nuclear-powered vessels.
This prototype nuclear reactor was constructed for the United States Department of Energy's Office of Naval Reactors as part of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. The reactor was built by General Electric and operated by the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory at the Kesselring Site Operation in West Milton, New York. It was used for testing ...
A prototype reactor was built ashore at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory's Kesselring Site in West Milton, New York in 1958 to test the reactor design. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Once the design was proven, the prototype continued operation to train students and test new systems and materials.
The second nuclear submarine was USS Seawolf, which was initially powered by a sodium-cooled S2G reactor, and supported by the land-based S1G reactor at the Kesselring site under Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory operated by General Electric. A spare S2G was also built but never used.

This nuclear reactor utilizes natural circulation [2] [3] [4] which is capable of operating at a significant fraction of full power without reactor coolant pumps. A land-based prototype of the reactor plant was built at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory's Kesselring Site in West Milton, New York. The prototype was used for testing and crew ...
The plant's name has been synonymous with public fears over the risks associated with nuclear power since the plant suffered a partial meltdown in 1979. Three Mile Island, site of 1979 nuclear ...
A nuclear waste repository near Carlsbad could be used to generate "clean energy" as federal official sought input from the public for the project.. It’s part of the U.S. Department of Energy ...
