I suppose IAC2 could use 2x the Arihant reactor
Arihant class
Installed power: 1 × pressurized water reactor[2] 83 MW (111,000 hp)
Propulsion:1 × propeller shaft Nuclear
Vikrant class
Propulsion: 4 General Electric LM2500+ gas turbines, 2 shafts 80+ MW
Compare :
Triomphant class SSBN
Propulsion:K15 pressurised water reactor (150 MW), turboreductor system, Pump-jet
two diesel-powered generators SEMT Pielstick 8PA4V200 SM (700 kW) auxiliaries. 30,500 kW
Charles de Gaulle carrier
Propulsion:2 × K15 pressurised water reactors (PWR), 150 MW each, 4 × diesel-electric , 2 × shafts
But it would require at least 4 PWR Arihant type reactors to power IAC 2. Would there be enough space for 4-5 Nuclear reactors in an AC?
