Abstract
In addition to normal considerations for shipboard electric plants, the design for nuclear-powered merchant vessels is based on the need for an uninterrupted source of power. The installation of main, auxiliary, and emergency generating plants, the utilization of automatic devices for generator synchronizing and power source transfer, as well as the application of special interior communications and alarm systems, unique to nuclear-powered vessels, effectively eliminate the probability of complete power loss on the N.S. Savannah.
