I just read an article that said Argentina wants to take that submarine they never finished the ARA Santa Fe and stick a nuclear reactor in to its hull.

Well since the TR1700 class submarines are only about 2,000 tons that reactor better be natural circulation and/or have a turbo electric drive otherwise it will be the nosiest thing running. 2,000 tons does not allow for much in the way of conventional quieting features.
