Object and purpose of research. A wide application of nuclear technologies and new types of weapons, electronic sensors, automation systems and tools have increased combat capabilities of the Navy and its major component represented by submarine forces. Materials and methods. Nuclear submarines are core weapons of the Naval Forces, which can efficiently perform strategic and tactical roles, including multiple tasks. Main results. This paper briefly analyzes the steam-generation and steam-turbine plants development of submarines and elaboration of industry standards used for design of the systems supporting of nuclear submarines. Conclusions. This paper assesses the relevancy of standards used in development of steam-generation and steam-turbine plants for advanced nuclear submarines and identifies the scope for their further improvement to take into account modern nuclear submarine requirements in the design.
