Development of a Robust Tri-Carbide Fueled Reactor for Multimegawatt Space Power and Propulsion Applications
An innovative reactor core design based on advanced, mixed carbide fuels was analyzed for nuclear space power applications. Solid solution, mixed carbide fuels such as (U,Zr,Nb)c and (U,Zr, Ta)C offer great promise as an advanced high temperature fuel for space power reactors.
