As mentioned, in the electrical system there are two 750-kw diesel
generator sets installed in the engine room. If any emergency
“take-home” power is required, either diesel generator can be used to
operate a 750-hp wound rotor motor, which is connected to the ship’s
propeller, through the reduction gears.
Each diesel generator is sized to furnish adequate power for reactor
decay heat removal, lighting, and necessary ship service.
