In response to Anonymous’s December 26, 2023 comment:

Yes I see France's larger 2030s onward single New Generation Aircraft Carrier' (Porte-avions de nouvelle génération (PA-NG)) will use 2 x 220 MWt [ = 73 MWe?] K22 nuclear reactors

Presumably each of France's larger 2030s onwards 4 x Third Generation SSBN (Sous-Marin Nucléaire Lanceur d'Engins de Troisieme Génération (SNLE 3Gs)) will be powered by a K22?

Might France pass some K15 or K22 technology to South Korea for SK's KSS-3 Batch 3 SSBN program? SK's payment could help fund the high cost of the K22's development.
