On the Response of the GPHS Fueled Clad to Various Impact Environments
The General Purpose Heat Source (GPHS) was developed by Department of Energy personnel and their contractors to provide a safe and mass efficient method of packaging the radioactive isotope 238Pu02 for use in space power systems. The characteristics of this heat source and its development history are well documented in numerous reports and papers and will not be revisited here. There is a duplicate copy. There is also a copy in the Energy Systems files.
