Space nuclear power systems 1985; Proceedings of the Second Symposium, Albuquerque, NM, Jan. 14-16, 1985. Volumes 3 and 4
Papers are presented on the US space nuclear power program, civilian and military applications for nuclear power in space, and the designs, requirements, and costs of space nuclear power missions and systems. Topics discussed include space nuclear reactor fuel and fuel performance, the properties of refractory metal alloys, the development of liquid droplet and heat pipe radiators for thermal management in space, and systems analysis and testing. Consideration is given to methods for converting thermal energy to useable electrical energy in space, control and power conditioning electronics systems for space applications, reactors and shields, options for space nuclear propulsion, and the safety and reliability of using nuclear reactors in space.
