DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1346694· OSTI ID:1346694
At the request of the AEC, AI has prepared and transmitted the following material to NASA for the SNAP 8 Bidders Conference. Since SNAP 8 is merely an extrapolation of the 3 kwe SNAP 2 system to higher power output, the following information is presented as background for the SNAP 8 system. SNAP 2 is a nuclear powered, mercury-Rankine power source being developed by the Missiles Projects Branch of the AEC for utilization in WS-117L, the Air Force reconnaissance satellite system. Atomics International is prime contractor to the AEC for the development of the auxiliary power unit.
