Description
This paper presents a description of the NERVA-Derivative Reactor (NDR) and the space power systems for a wide range of application and space missions. An NDR development program is proposed, focusing on the reactor ground test. A single test facility to carry out a sequence of well planned tests will provide the critical information needed at minimum cost. (author)
