Scientific paper

A light-weight, high temperature advanced ceramic heat pipe radiator system is proposed to meet the design requirements of the SP-100 Space Nuclear Reactor Program. The advanced ceramic radiator panel uses a titanium inner liner that acts as the permeability boundary for the potassium working fluid, while the outer advanced ceramic layer is the structural load-bearing component and impact armor of the heat pipe. Using a baseline elliptical heat pipe condenser and evaporator cross-sections and the design data, the advanced ceramic heatpipe single sided radiator panel is predicted to weigh about 3.6 kg/sq m of radiating surface.
