Chinese nuclear scientists claim to have conceptualised a small, low-cost nuclear-reactor that could power a torpedo for over 10,000 kilometres. The nuclear-powered torpedoes can travel largely undetected in a swarm across the Pacific Ocean and strike targets in the US.
In a paper published recently, Chinese researchers said they have completed a conceptual design for such a weapons system. The torpedo system would use a disposable nuclear reactor to reach and maintain a cruising speed of over 56 Kmph for 200 hours. It would then dump the reactor to the seabed and draw power from a battery to launch an attack.
