Beats me I just binged the Reagan to find out didnt look that far
I just researched the Westinghouse reactor on these Nimitz class ships, generates 550 MWth, translates to 104 MWe to the props and probably another 50 MWe for the rest of the ship.
The Wisconsin nuke plant at 565 MWe needs somewhere like 1,880 MWth as input.
Nuke plants are about 30% efficient while the natural gas combined cycle are 50% on a cold Wisconsin day. Plus cheaper to build.
However, having our electrical system dependent on a fuel source that is difficult to store is freaking dangerous. Blow up a natural gas pipeline and you have a wide area electrical blackout as the generating plants shut down.
Some of this risk can be averted by having dual fuel gas/ oil plants; where the oil is emergency use only. A diverse generation system is the way to go.
