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...
