Paper Abstract
Two phenomenologically-based computer programs have been developed to study nuclear power systems for strategic defense. One code models total system mass-in-orbit requirements derived from detailed orbit track and coverage computations. This showed that power plant specific mass dominates systems application assessments. The other code models technical features of a variety of nuclear systems, to show performance in terms of technology level and variability. Together they can help define optimal paths for fruitful research on advanced concepts.
