AFAIK, they
used to say the S8G and its turbine sets can pump out 60000. More recent sources like Polmar's
Cold War Submarines dunked that down to ~35000.
As for the Russkie, it'll probably have in the region of 80000-100000HP, assuming a typical two OKB-650 variant reactor along with the turbines...
