The '''S7G reactor''' was a [[prototype]] [[United States Naval reactor|naval reactor]] designed for the [[United States Navy]] to provide [[electricity generation]] and [[Nuclear marine propulsion|propulsion]] on [[warship]]s.  The S7G designation stands for:

* S = [[Submarine]] platform
* 7 = Seventh [[Nuclear reactor core|reactor]] designed by the contractor
* G = [[General Electric]] was the contracted designer

This prototype design was a land-based [[nuclear reactor]] that did not use [[control rods]].  It was tested in the late 1970s and early 1980s at the Modifications and Additions to a Reactor Facility (MARF) plant located at the [[Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory]]'s Kesselring Site in [[Ballston Spa, New York]].  It consisted of an experimental reactor core installed in a modified [[S5W reactor]] plant.
