NNS17AA26T / NNS14AA17B - NASA IS INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING A FACILITY TO TEST NUCLEAR THERMAL PROPULSION (NTP) ROCKET ENGINES. CURRENT NTP ENGINE DESIGNS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO RELEASE RADIOACTIVE FISSION PRODUCTS BUT, TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC AND NASA PERSONNEL AND COMPLY WITH ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS, A RADIONUCLIDE CAPTURE SYSTEM SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED. THE THERMAL PROPULSION CAPTURE SYSTEM (TPCS) IS CURRENTLY BEING DEFINED FOR NTP ENGINE TESTING AT SSC (STENNIS SPACE CENTER). THE TPCS IS DESIGNED TO TOTALLY CONTAIN ALL OF THE NTP HYDROGEN EXHAUST BY REACTING IT WITH OXYGEN TO CREATE STEAM WHICH IS CONDENSED TO LIQUID WITH A WATER COOLED HEAT EXCHANGER AND STORED IN A TANK. A SECONDARY LIQUID NITROGEN COOLED HEAT EXCHANGER CONDENSES RESIDUAL OXYGEN FOR STORAGE IN A TANK AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES. DURING TESTING OF THE NTP ENGINE, HYDROGEN WILL BE EXHAUSTED AT THE FULL FLOW RATE FOR AROUND AN HOUR AND DURING THIS TIME THE TPCS WILL PREVENT ANY POTENTIAL RADIONUCLIDE RELEASE. AFTER THE TEST FIRE, THE REACTOR WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE HEAT SO THE ENGINE IS OPERATED IN A COOL-DOWN MODE WHERE HYDROGEN IS INJECTED AT A SLOWLY DIMINISHING FRACTION OF THE FULL FLOW RATE OVER SEVERAL WEEKS. DURING THE COOL-DOWN PHASE, IT WILL BE UNECONOMICAL TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE TPCS BECAUSE IT IS SIZED FOR OPERATION AT MUCH HIGHER FLOW RATES. INSTEAD A REGENERATIVE RADIONUCLIDE ADSORPTION AND DISPOSAL SYSTEM (RRAADS) COULD BE IMPLEMENTED TO TRAP RADIOACTIVE FISSION PROJECTS FROM THE EXHAUST ON DEMAND BEFORE FLARING THE SCRUBBED HYDROGEN IN THE ATMOSPHERE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO PERFORM TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL ALLOW A RADIONUCLIDE FILTRATION SYSTEM TO BE SIZED. TO DATE, A SYSTEM THAT CAN REMOVE NTP RADIONUCLIDES FROM HYDROGEN GAS EXHAUST HAS ONLY BEEN IMPLEMENTED ONCE. IN 1971, THE NUCLEAR FURNACE 1 (NF-1) EFFLUENT CAPTURE SYSTEM (ECS) DEMONSTRATED THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACTIVATED CHARCOAL FILTER TO TRAP RADIONUCLIDES FROM NTP EXHAUST. THE RESULTS FROM THE NF-1 PROJECT INDICATE THAT BETWEEN ABOUT 60% TO 99.99% OF RADIONUCLIDES WERE CAPTURED BUT INCONSISTENCIES IN THE NF-1 TEST RESULTS PREVENT THE ADSORPTION MODEL USED TO SIZE THE ECS FROM BEING APPLIED TOWARDS THE DESIGN OF THE COOL-DOWN MODE RRAADS. DURING THIS TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT A RADIONUCLIDE ADSORPTION DEMONSTRATION SYSTEM (RADS) WILL BE CONSTRUCTED AND TESTED TO VALIDATE THE ADSORPTION MODEL WHICH WILL BE USED TO DESIGN THE ON-DEMAND RADIONUCLIDE CONTAINMENT SYSTEM THAT WILL BE REQUIRED FOR FUTURE NTP ENGINE TESTING.

NNS14AA50T / NNS14AA17B - NUCLEAR THERMAL PROPULSION (NTP) IS A HIGH NASA TECHNOLOGY PRIORITY AREA, AN ASSESSMENT RECENTLY CONFIRMED BY THE NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL (NRC). IT IS A RELATIVELY NEAR-TERM ENABLING TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE HUMAN TRANSIT TIME (AND MISSION RISK) TO NEAR-EARTH OBJECTS (NEOS) AND MARS. NTP IS GAME CHANGING FOR SPACE EXPLORATION, PROVIDING A SPECIFIC IMPULSE OF ROUGHLY DOUBLE THAT OF STATE OF THE ART CHEMICAL ENGINES. THE FEASIBILITY OF AN IN-SPACE LAUNCH VEHICLE UTILIZING NTP WAS DEMONSTRATED DURING THE ROVER AND NERVA PROGRAMS (1955-1972). THE CURRENT RESURGENCE OF INTEREST IN NTP TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT COMES FROM THE UNITED STATES RENEWED INTEREST IN HUMAN EXPLORATION BEYOND LOW EARTH ORBIT AND THE RECOGNITION THAT NTP OFFERS THE BEST HOPE OF ACHIEVING THIS GOAL NEAR TERM (REFERENCE NRC 2010 REPORT `NASA SPACE TECHNOLOGY ROADMAPS AND PRIORITIES - RESTORING NASA S TECHNOLOGICAL EDGE AND PAVING THE WAY FOR A NEW ERA IN SPACE ). HOWEVER, THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED TO DEVELOP AND TEST NTP ENGINE AND VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT PRESENTLY EXIST. THE MOST RECENT STUDY OF NTP TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT GROUND TEST FACILITY NEEDS WAS FUNDED BY NASA/MSFC IN 2006 AND PERFORMED AND PUBLISHED BY ARES, INC, (REPORT NO. 05025011_01) TITLED, `NUCLEAR THERMAL ENGINE GROUND TEST APPROACH AND SITE ASSESSMENT . THIS STUDY PROVIDES AN ASSESSMENT OF APPROACHES TO GROUND TESTING OF AN NTP ROCKET ENGINE, IDENTIFYING TWO CONCEPTS TO MITIGATE THE ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD RISK OF NUCLEAR FISSION S RADIOACTIVE BYPRODUCT CONTAMINATION IN THE ENGINE PROPELLANT EXHAUST; (1) CONTAINMENT OF CONTAMINATED ENGINE EXHAUST BY FIRING THE ENGINE INTO AN ALLUVIUM SOIL GROUND BORE HOLE THAT ABSORBS THE NUCLEAR CONTAMINANT AND (2) DIRECT TREATMENT OF ENGINE EXHAUST THAT CAPTURES THE NUCLEAR CONTAMINANT AND FLARES TO ATMOSPHERE THE ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE HYDROGEN EFFLUENT. SSC S OFFICE OF CHIEF TECHNOLOGIST HAS PROVIDED FUNDING VIA ITS CENTER INNOVATION FUNDING BUDGET TO INITIATE INVESTIGATION OF NTP ENGINE EXHAUST SCRUBBING TECHNOLOGY. THIS PROJECT S GOAL IS TO MITIGATE THE TECHNICAL IMMATURITY OF THE DIRECT GAS TREATMENT (EFFLUENT SCRUBBING) APPROACH; TO INVESTIGATE ITS FEASIBILITY AND IDENTIFY DESIGN REQUIREMENTS. THE SCOPE OF THIS EFFORT IS TO: 1. IDENTIFY AND RESEARCH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES IN RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT SCRUBBING ON THE ORDER OF MAGNITUDE OF NTP ENGINE AND STAGE VEHICLE DEVELOPMENT TESTING (I.E., 25-60 LB/SEC HYDROGEN FLOWRATE FOR 1 HOUR DURATION) 2.

NNS13AA93T / NNS08AA83B - THE FOLLOWING TASKS ARE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT SSC WITH THE ABOVE LISTED REQUIREMENTS AS THEY RELATE TO POTENTIAL TESTING OF NUCLEAR THERMAL PROPULSION (NTP) ROCKET ENGINES. THE PURPOSE OF THIS STATEMENT OF WORK IS TO OUTLINE STEPS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE NASA STENNIS PERSONNEL WITH INFORMATION REGARDING CURRENT, PAST, AND PROSPECTIVE TECHNOLOGIES THAT HAVE POTENTIAL APPLICATION IN NTP EFFLUENT TREATMENT AND TREATMENT SYSTEMS. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE NTP PROGRAM IS TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP AN NTP ENGINE, HOWEVER THIS GOAL CANNOT BE ACHIEVED WITHOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NUMEROUS FACTORS, INCLUDING NOT ONLY AN APPROPRIATE TESTING FACILITY, BUT A FACILITY THAT PROVIDES FOR EFFLUENT TREATMENT. THEREFORE, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SUCCESSFUL NTP PROGRAM, THE METHODS IMPLEMENTED FOR EFFLUENT TREATMENT ARE A PRIMARY CONCERN. NTP EFFLUENT TREATMENT IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY STANDARDS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY POTENTIAL RELEASE OF RADIOACTIVE SPECIES. IN SUPPORT OF NTP TEST PLANNING ACTIVITIES, REVIEWS OF HISTORICAL DOCUMENTATION REGARDING NTP EFFLUENT TREATMENT, AS WELL AS RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN OFFGAS TREATMENT SHOULD BE CONDUCTED. REVIEW, EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS IS A PREREQUISITE FOR ALL FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO CHEMICAL EFFLUENTS, OFFGASSES, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS. ULTIMATELY, THE TYPES OF ROCKET ENGINES UNDER CONSIDERATION, AS WELL AS REACTOR TYPE, AND THE MECHANISM BY WHICH RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS ARE HANDLED WILL AFFECT THE EFFLUENTS TECHNOLOGIES AND THE MONITORING CAPABILITIES THAT ARE ULTIMATELY UTILIZED. HOWEVER A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE STATE OF THE ART OF EFFLUENT TECHNOLOGIES IS REQUIRED, SO THAT THE SAFEST AND MOST OPTIMAL DECISION MAKING WILL RESULT. TASKS THE FOLLOWING LISTS KEY TASKS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE IDENTIFICATION OF RELEVANT EFFLUENT TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR SAFE OPERATION OF NTP TESTING: 1.REVIEW OF HISTORICAL NTP RECOMMENDATIONS: OVER THE PAST FOUR DECADES, MULTIPLE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN AIMED AT ESTABLISHING REQUIREMENTS FOR NTP TEST EFFLUENT TREATMENT SYSTEMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ENGINE DESIGNS UNDER CONSIDERATION AT THE TIME. SEMINAL PAPERS IN THIS FIELD SHOULD BE REVIEWED AND USED TO ESTABLISH A BASELINE FOR EFFLUENT TREATMENT APPROACHES. 2.REVIEW OF EFFLUENT TREATMENT APPROACHES IN RELATED FIELDS: A REVIEW OF RELEVANT SYSTEMS AS DEVELOPED FOR OTHER RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENT TREATMENT APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE CONDUCTED. FOR EXAMPLE, SYSTEMS USED FOR THE TREATMENT OF NUCLEAR WASTE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED PRIMARY TARGETS FOR THIS LITERATURE REVIEW.3.REVIEW OF CURRENT STATUS OF NTP REACTOR/ENGINE PLANS: A REVIEW OF THE TYPES OF NTP REACTOR SYSTEMS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE PERFORMED
