Nuclear and thermal analysis of the heatpipe power and bimodal systems
Description
This paper discusses the nuclear and thermal analysis of two fission-powered concepts: (1)the Heatpipe Power System(HBS), which provides which provides power only, and (2) the Heatpipe Bimodal System (HBS), which provides both power and thermal propulsion. The HPS and HBS systems can provide substantial levels of power and propulsion at low mass with a high degree of safety and reliability. The systems have been designed to utilize existing technology and facilities, which will make the development cost relatively low
