Abstract:The results of computational studies on choosing radiation protection for planetary-surface nuclear power plants are present. Protection on the base of a 0.4-1.5 MW(t) YaEU-100 thermionic space reactor was considered for a Martian nuclear power plant and a 0.36 and 0.6 MW(t) YaEU-25 reactor was considered for a lunar reactor. The mass/size characteristics of the radiation protection were obtained for different arrangements of the nuclear power plant on the planet -directly on the surface with protection delive… Show more
