Connect. Preserve. Honor. Serve.
Welcome to the
Naval Reactors
Historical Association
The Naval Reactors Historical Association is dedicated to connecting past and present Naval Reactors professionals, inspiring future generations and educating the public on Naval Reactors' accomplishments. Our mission is to preserve the history of Naval Reactors and to honor those who have contributed to its success and ensure those contributions are never forgotten.
NEW - Try our new ChatGPT NR-HA Analyst which has access to many of our documents and can be asked free form questions like - "What equations were used to model reactor physics?" or "What was special about SSN-586?" Until we can fund integrating it into our website, you will need a paid OpenAI-ChatGPT account to access.
