A google news search for "China navy nuclear" has revealed that the Chinese have built a prototype naval nuclear reactor.
Of course this is not "new" news.
Anyways have there been any rumors / reports of the technical specs of this reactor?

How big is it / horsepower ?
Does it use 90% enriched uranium like the US navy or 20% like the French ?
Is this reactor design exclusive for nuclear carriers or is a nuclear powered cruiser a possibility ?
