Development of systems analysis program for space reactor studies

An overall systems design code was developed to model
an advanced in-core thermionic energy conversion based
nuclear reactor system for space applications at power
levels of 10 to 50 kWe. The purpose of this work was to
provide the overall shell for the systems code and to also
provide the detailed neutronic analysis section of the code.
The design code that was developed is to be used to evaluate
a reactor system based upon a single cell thermionic fuel
element which uses advanced technology to enhance the
performance of single cell thermionic fuel elements.
A literature survey provided information concerning how
other organizations performed system studies on similar
space reactor designs. / Graduation date: 1994
