lithium-cooled reactor - Brayton turboelectric power converter design for 100-kWe class space reactor electric systems

  • 1. Atomics International, Canoga Park, CA

Description

The conceptual design of a 100-kWe space reactor electric system to satisfy the design goals of the Tri-Agency SP-100 Program has been completed. The system was selected from an initial field of over 500 potential choices covering a wide range of reactor, power converter, shield, heat transport, and radiator subsystems. The selected system - a lithium-cooled, UN-fueled, refractory-clad reactor coupled to a redundant pair of 110-kWe (gross) Brayton turboelectric power converters shows strong promise of not only meeting the SP-100 Program design goals but also of providing for substantial growth in power levels for potential future needs
