Scientific paper
The current interest in space exploration, including a permanent manned presence on the moon, and the exploration of Mars has led to the investigation of various nuclear power system options for the supply of lunar and planetary surface power. This paper examines the broad goals that such a system should have, and in particular how they will differ from the goals of more fimiliar space nuclear power systems. We then sketch a concept for a modular nuclear reactor that can successfully meet these new and different objectives. Our concept draws upon several of the technologies being developed in the SP-100 program, where they are appropriate, in order to hasten the development and implementation of a planetary surface power system that can best support these objectives.
