Nuclear rocket simulation system for the development of advanced control

Journal Article · · Transactions of the American Nuclear Society
OSTI ID:76051

An integrated control and health monitoring architecture is being developed for the Pratt and Whitney XNR2000, fast spectrum, CERMET fueled nuclear rocket. To permit testing and module development of this control architecture, a dynamic simulation system for modeling nuclear rockets has been developed. This paper described the simulation system and the resulting model of the rocket.
