Quality application to space nuclear power (SP-100)

Description: Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC) was selected by DOE as the preferred site to install and conduct operational, performance, and reliability tests on the ground-based prototype of the space reactor. These tests will be conducted with the reactor in a large vacuum chamber to simulate the space environment. A containment vessel system from the decommissioned Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor will house the chamber and provide appropriate safeguards. The reactor will generate 2.5-MW thermal energy f… more

Power system requirements and selection for the space exploration initiative

Description: The Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) seeks to reestablish a US program of manned and unmanned space exploration. The President has called for a program which includes a space station element, a manned habitation of the moon, and a human exploration of Mars. The NASA Synthesis Group has developed four significantly different architectures for the SEI program. One key element of a space exploration effort is the power required to support the missions. The Power Speciality Team of the Synthesis … more
