Enterprise’s nuc power plant did not operate with 1200 psi,
superheated steam. Nuclear power plants are not superheated they run on saturated steam. You are very correct in stating her removal from service was necessary for safety.

Thanks. I didn’t know that. Well at least unlike superheated you might see a leak. Superheated was an unseen killer. It’s an old plant though steam piping wise and likely reactor wise. USN got it’s life & moneys worth out of her.
