The main difference is size. Submarine reactors are typically ~ 200 MW (carrier reactors are 700 MW or more). Pele is looking at ~ 5 MW.
It's analogous to laptop vs desktop computers. The laptop is smaller and dissipates less power. Laptop components are not exactly shrunken desktop components, though they are fundamentally the same.
