SYSTEMS FOR NUCLEAR AUXILIARY POWER. A REPORT BY THE COMMISSION, 1964
Abstract
The uses and possible systems for auxiliary power, particularly for space applications, are indicated; and the extent to which nuclear systems meet the requirements is discussed. The current and planned development programs are outlined, and the AEC's conclusions on the overall SNAP program are presented. The status, characteristics, and uses of various SNAP generators are tabulated. (D.C.W.)

SYSTEMS FOR NUCLEAR AUXILIARY POWER. AN EVALUATION, JANUARY 1964
The requirements and potential applications for radioisotope and reactor SNAP systems are summarized. A technical review of the SNAP reactor programs, including the associated lithium cooled reactor experiment, is presented; and alternate approaches are evaluated. Radiation and safety considerations of isotopic SNAP systems are discussed, together with the economics of such systems and isotope availability. Characteristics and uses of SNAP systems are also tabulated. (D.C.W.)
