  • Radiation Shielding for Space Nuclear Propulsion

    Creator:
    Caffrey, Jarvis
    Abstract:
    Nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) is a viable technology for near-term interplanetary exploration. Of the candidate mission architectures that are currently available for a crewed Mars mission, NTP permits the greatest flexibility in launch window selection and provides the shortest possible trip time, thereby reducing risks associated with cosmic ray exposure,...

  • Experimental shielding evaluation of the radiation protection provided by residential structures

    Creator:
    Dickson, Elijah D.
    Abstract:
    The human health and environmental effects following a postulated accidental release of radioactive material to the environment has been a public and regulatory concern since the early development of nuclear technology and researched extensively to better understand the potential risks for accident mitigation and emergency planning purposes. The objective of...
