the Alfa use a liquid cooled reactor and that kind of reactor demand a lot of care and maintenance even if the sub is on dock (wihout heating the coolant solidified) so at this time the K-123 is unable to take sea and even if this new is true, what i doubt a lot, the navy will have to make a lot effort and spend a lot of money to make it operationnal or prepare a barge with heating system before convoy it to USA.
