Assessment of near-term fuel screening and qualification needs for nuclear thermal propulsion systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of historical approaches to NTP fuel performance maturation, including fuel screening and qualification needs, and provide insight for establishing an efficient testing paradigm that can be implemented to rapidly and affordably develop nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) fuel forms for eventual qualification.

Subscale maturation of advanced reactor technologies (SMART): A path forward for nuclear thermal propulsion fuel and reactor development
TL;DR: The Subscale Maturation of Advanced Reactor Technologies (SMART) facility is proposed in this paper to support the development of NTP engines for the Mars Exploration Program (MEP). But, it does not have the capability to conduct effects testing of individual components.

Considerations for the weldability of types 304L and 316L stainless steel
Paul S. Korinko,S. H. Malene +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a calculated Creq to Nieq ratio of 1.52 to 1.9 is recommended to control the primary mode of solidification and prevent solidification cracks in type 304L while the Creq/Nieq ratios are calculated for type 316L stainless steel.
