Reliable, long-life, low-cost heat pipes can enable safe, affordable space fission power and propulsion systems. Advanced versions of these systems can in turn allow rapid access to any point in the solar system. Stainless steel heat pipe modules are being built at Advanced Methods and Materials for use in a non-nuclear thermal hydraulic simulation of the SAFE-100 reactor. SAFE-100 is a near-term, low-cost space fission system demonstration. The heat pipes were designed to remove thermal power from the SAFE-100 core, and transfer this power to an electrical power conversion system. These heat pipe modules are being delivered to NASA Marshall Space Flight Center to be filled and tested in a prototypical configuration during CY2003. The construction and test of a SAFE-100 module prototype is described.
