Editing Kirov-class battlecruiser (section)

===Combined nuclear and steam propulsion===
'''Combined nuclear and steam propulsion system''' ('''CONAS''') is used on the Kirov battlecruisers. Complementary to the nuclear component, there are two conventional boilers installed as a backup in case of reactor failure. Both components can drive two geared steam turbines, generating 120,000 [[Horsepower|hp]] (89 MW), at two prop shafts.<ref>[http://www.navycollection.narod.ru/ships/Russia/Cruisers/TARK_Proect_1144/history.html V.P.
