SNAP-50/SPUR REACTOR DEVELOPMENT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4649311

The development of the refractory metal-liquid metalcooled SNAP-50/SPUR project including, as a first reactor, the Lithium-Cooled Reactor Experiment (LCRE) is discussed. Development of SNAP-50/SPUR is intended to provide for the generation of 300 to 1000 kw(e). The overall development program will consist of a proof-of-principle, non-flight component, reactor experiment to be followed by a series of simulated flight reactor tests which will culminate in flight testing of a completed powerplant.
