A description is given of the test series conducted in conjunction with the SNAP Aerospace Safety Program. The principal objective of the tests was to obtain data and information for evaluating the hazards occurring before, during, and after the flight of the SNAP 10A reactor. The results of these tests will provide a means for developing criteria to guide in the design of inherently safe SNAP systems. (auth)
