100-kW/sub e/ Nuclear space electric power source

Description: The current 100-kW/sub e/ space nuclear power technology program could provide an electric power source for nuclear electric propulsion. The power plant is relatively compact, light weight, and has the advantages of long life and immunity to degradation while passing through the Van Allen belts. The reactor is a unique design using heat pipes to transfer heat from the reactor core to the thermoelectric converters. The converters are an improved design over those used in the radioisotope space p… more

350 MW(t) design fuel cycle selection. Revision 1

Description: This document discusses the results of this evaluation and a recommendation to retain the graded fuel cycle in which one-half of the fuel elements are exchanged at each refueling. This recommendation is based on the better performance of the graded cycle relative to the evaluation criteria of both economics and control margin. A choice to retain the graded cycle and a power density of 5.9 MW/m{sup 3} for the upcoming conceptual design phase was deemed prudent for the following reasons: the grad… more

800-MWe HTGR-gas-turbine two-loop electric plant

Description: The design and development of the electric plant for the HTGR-Gas Turbine (GT) present a radical departure in accommodating the electrical requirements of the nuclear heat system and the balance of plant. To address not only these requirements but also codes and standards (for power plants and safety-grade systems), the evolution of the design dictates the application of innovative and unique solutions. The complexity of the GT plant and the criteria for nuclear power stations are substantial r… more
