THE NUCLEAR RAMJET PROPULSION SYSTEM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4838119
A review of technology related to nuclear ramjets is presented. Problems for research are pointed out in the area of minimization of the yield requirement in ramjet materials because of the non-yielding characteristics of oxides and carbides selected for these uses. Other problems include large neutron and gamma fluxes, reactor control, and waste disposal. General descriptions of the Tory reactors are included. (J.R.D.)
