The three-volume report describes a dual-mode nuclear space power and propulsion system concept that employs an advanced solid-core nuclear fission reactor coupled via heat pipes to one of several electric power conversion systems. The NUROC3A systems analysis code was designed to provide the user with performance characteristics of the dual-mode system. Volume 3 describes utilization of the NUROC3A code to produce a detailed parameter study of the system.

The electromagnetic field configuration generated if there is no wall surrounding the channel is investigated. An azimuthally symmetric channel of given uniform, finite, conductivity and radius is treated. It is shown that if Q is the total charge in the pulse, then the total charge that passes through any plane z > 0 is exactly equal to Q and that as the pulse moves through the channel and the distance from the ground plane to the pulse approaches infinity, the electromagnetic field configuration approaches that which results from the steady state with the same pulse moving in a channel of infinite length in the absence of a ground state.

Rock chips from depths of 1380 to 1478 m from the State of California Well No. 1 in the Salton Sea Geothermal Field were examined using conventional petrographic, x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Mineral composition, pore configuration and the nature of the fine-grained matrix materials were determined.

The Kulite dual-element, semiconductor strain gage, weldable model M(6)-EP-120-500W, was evaluated in laboratory tests under simulated Nevada Test Site conditions. Two gages were installed on P-110 line-of-sight pipe material. Tension was applied to the test samples to 50 percent of yield (about 2000 microstrain). Immediately following, compression was applied to 100 percent of yield (about 6000 microstrain). The Kulite gages were powered by a dual constant current signal conditioner. Measurements obtained with metal foil strain gages served as reference standards for the Kulite strain gage measurements. The output voltages of the Kulite gages were relatively linear from zero to +2000 microstrain and in the subsequent compression to -2500 microstrain. Below -2500 microstrain, the output voltages from the Kulite gages became decidedly nonlinear and also differed significantly from each other. We feel that the gage spotwelds were failing at strains below -2500 microstrain and consequently that data obtained below this level are not reliable enough to calculate pipe forces. The stated gage factor (Kulite factory) of 220 is about 33 percent higher in tension than the measured gage factor and about 15 percent higher in compression. Adhesive-bonded, metal foil strain gages are recommended for reliable pipe force measurements on future Nevada …

The purpose of this test plan is to provide an overall outline of all testing to be accomplished on the GDS. Included in this test plan are administrative requirements, instrumentation accuracies, instrumentation, equipment definitions, system test setup, and facility installation. The test program will enable collection of sufficient data to establish material, component, and system design integrity. The data will also be used to establish and evaluate component and system performance and reliability characteristics, verification of proper system component integration prior to initiation of Phase II, and flight system (FS) development.

Fuel cycle problems of fusion reactors evolve around the breeding, recovery, containment, and recycling of tritium. These processes are described, and their implications and alternatives are discussed. Technically, fuel cycle problems are solvable; economically, their feasibility is not yet known. (auth)
