Cycle Trades for Nuclear Thermal Rocket Propulsion Systems
Nuclear fission has been used as a reliable source for utility power in the United States for decades. Even in the 1940’s, long before the United States had a viable space program, the theoretical benefits of nuclear power as applied to space travel were being explored [Humble, et. al.]. These benefits include long-life operation and high performance, particularly in the form of vehicle power d...
متن کاملComparision of Control Design Techniques for a Nuclear Reactor
This paper presents a comparative study of different control design methods applied to a nuclear reactor model. A nuclear reactor temperature controller is designed using the H-infinity (H∞) control. This advanced controller is compared with a conventional Proportional–Integral–Derivative controller (PID) controller and a traditional optimal controller design using Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQ...

متن کاملNuclear Naval Propulsion
The largest experience in operating nuclear power plants has been in nuclear naval propulsion, particularly aircraft carriers and submarines. This accumulated experience may become the basis of a proposed new generation of compact-sized nuclear power plants designs. The mission for nuclear powered submarines is being redefined in terms of signal intelligence gathering and special operations. Th...
متن کاملShielding Development for Nuclear Thermal Propulsion
Radiation shielding analysis and development for the Nuclear Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (NCPS) effort is currently in progress and preliminary results have enabled consideration for critical interfaces in the reactor and propulsion stage systems. Early analyses have highlighted a number of engineering constraints, challenges, and possible mitigating solutions. Performance constraints include pe...
