- W3021377503 abstract "This chapter explores the concept of nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) for rockets keeping in view deep space exploration as its target. The high thrust level achievable with NTP translates into more reasonable interplanetary trip times, thus reducing one of the major dangers of deep space flight, cosmic radiation exposure. Another significant advantage is the best potential it has for using in situational planetary propellant resources. The nuclear rocket operates in the same fashion as a liquid rocket engine in that it adds energy to the propellant gas as it passes over the hot reactor core so that heat is transferred to the gas. The hot gas is then accelerated to high speed through an accelerating nozzle, thereby producing thrust. It also briefly explains the principles of nuclear reactors and nuclear fission which in turn leads to the explanation of fissionable materials. Security concepts are also discussed by exploring radiation shields, reflectors, moderator's fuel, and control rods. Nuclear fuels are generally based on uranium oxide, nitride, or carbide. It also throws light on rocket performance by analyzing solid core reactors, particle bed reactors, and propellant feed systems. Gas core nuclear rockets and nuclear ramjets are also discussed in brief." @default.
