According to him, the nuclear power plant of the Burevestnik, with a comparable power to the reactor of a nuclear submarine, is 1000 times smaller.

But the most important thing is that if a conventional nuclear reactor starts up in hours and days, then this nuclear reactor installed in the Burevestnik starts up in minutes and seconds - this is a huge achievement.
