I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at US Navy in Aug 2021
Interview
3 45-minute interviews (has been decreased to two recently). Higher-ups at Naval Reactors will ask you 2-3 technical questions. They may be math or physics questions, but they are testing your reasoning skills. You will then interview with the Admiral of NR.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at US Navy (Washington, DC) in Oct 2011
Interview
The interview process involves a full day of interviews with various high level managers. Each interview can run up to an hour and involves technical questioning usually, but could stick more to personal details. All depends on your luck in being paired with an interviewer. After having the 3 interviews with managers, the final decision is made in an interview with the 4 star admiral.
