BM-40A reactor

BM-40A reactor currently redirects here. But according to http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/row/rus/705.htm the BM40-A and OK-550 are distinct types with similar characteristics, both used for the Alfa class:

Two different models of liquid metal (probably lead-bismuth) reactors were used. The four boats built at the Admiralty shipyard used the BM-40A reactor with two separate steam loops and circulating pumps. The boats built at Severodvinsk [Project 705K] used the OK-550 with branched first-loop lines and triple circulating loops and pumps.

If this can be verified, or if this source is considered reliable, this information should be included in the article. Andrewa 18:29, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alfa class submarine#Propulsion supports the claim that they are independent designs. Andrewa 18:31, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
