31 Δεκ 2014 · This document reviews the design status of the SP-100, heat pipe space nuclear reactor system. It also identifies those systems and components requiring additional research to support continued SP-100 system development.
1 Απρ 2003 · The SP100 space nuclear reactor was designed for use as an orbital power supply, lunar or Martian surface power station, and power supply for nuclear electric propulsion, with a scaleable power range of 10's kWe to 100's kWe.
The SP-100 program develops, validates, and demonstrates the technology for space nuclear power systems in the range of 10 to 1000 kilowatts electric for use in future military and civilian space missions.
An update on the SP-100 reactor subsystem design and performance is provided. Several key requirements have influenced the design substantially as the more detailed nuclear, thermal/hydraulic, and structural analyses have been completed for the various mission phases including accident safety performance characteristics.
In this project the heat is generated at the core of a fast compact liquid lithium refrigerated reactor.
