Scientific paper
Two nuclear electric propulsion (NEP) power system configurations are presented, each with an output power of 50 kWe and a system mass of about 2500 kg. Both consist of a reactor coupled to a recuperated Brayton power conversion system with a fixed conical radiator driven by loop heat pipes. In one system the reactor is gas-cooled with the gas directly driving the Brayton power conversion system. In the other the reactor is heatpipe-cooled with a heat exchanger between the reactor and the Brayton system. Two variations are described briefly with powers of 100 k We and 150 kWe. The mass scales approximately with the square root of the power. .
