Conversion ratio tables

Description: This manual provides a list of the quantities of plutonium and plutonium isotope formation. Other isotopes whose concentrations are important and included in this report are U-236 buildup, U-235 burnout, U burnout, Np-237 build-up, GVR (the Gas Volume Ratio) in coproduct target elements and equivalent gram of plutonium. These conversion tables have been calculated on the IBM 7090 digital computer using a program entitled ``FLEX-3.`` The results of the computer solutions have not been normalized… more

Helios pulsed nuclear propulsion concept

Description: A Helios-propelled vehicle would make use of a containment vessel--perhaps 30 feet in diameter--in which small nuclear explosive charges would be placed, together with a few hundred pounds of hydrogen. Firing of a charge would result in bringing the mixture of charge residue and hydrogen to a high temperature--say 5000 or 6000/sup 0/K--and subsequent release through a nozzle would provide propulsive thrust. This process would be repeated several thousand times, at intervals likely to be 10 seco… more
