Small Reactor for Deep Space Exploration
Neat! Small Reactor for Deep Space Exploration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KobRfGqlpGc&feature=youtu.be
"This is the first demonstration of a space nuclear reactor system to
produce electricity in the United States since 1965, and an experiment
demonstrated the first use of a heat pipe to cool a small nuclear
reactor and then harvest the heat to power a Stirling engine at the
Nevada National Security Site's Device Assembly Facility confirms basic
nuclear reactor physics and heat transfer for a simple, reliable space
power system."
