How Sweden’s First Nuclear Submarine Nearly Killed Its Crew
Robert Beckhusen, The National Interest - 21 seconds ago
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, Europe* It’s for good reason that Sweden decided to go for diesel submarines instead. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Those concepts didn’t pan out, and by the early 1960s, the hazards of nuclear energy for military use were becoming more apparent. Sweden shifted to its diesel-powered, AIP-augmented conventional submarines — although the A-11A’s design had an influence on these later hunter-killers. However, the neutral country’s nuclear experiments didn’t end. By the 1970s, Sweden’s civilian nuclear power plants were up and running. In terms o...
