710 Reactor thermoelectric space power system concepts

Description: Declassified 21 Sep 1973. A preliminary evaluation of the use of the 710 Reactor in an auxiliary space power system utilizing thermoelectric converters has been performed in order to determine feasibility of the concept and to define the required 710 fuel system operating conditions. Included are results of thermodynamic cycle studies and characteristics of the major components for a range of power levels. Configuration arrangements for man rated and instrument rated 50 kw(e) systems are shown.… more

Aerospace nuclear safety report for August 1967

Description: The AEC Safety Branch advised that the present outlook for a potential mission using four modified SNAP-3 type generators is rather negative. Drop tests of four SNAP-19 intact reentry heat source capsules were conducted at the Tonopah Test Range. A preliminary GE SNAP-27 safety analysis was reviewed. Three arc tunnel tests were conducted at low heat fluxes. Debris were collected on downrange impactors from all tests. The rapid helium depressurization test on fuel microspheres was conducted by B… more
