A comparison of Nuclear Thermal Propulsion concepts - Results of a workshopA Nuclear Thermal Propulsion Workshop, co-sponsored by NASA, DOE and DOD, was held in Cleveland, Ohio on July 10-12, 1990. The workshop was to provide a database of nuclear propulsion concepts and technologies to assist in planning a nuclear propulsion project, identify high priority activities to be initiated early, and to provide cost and schedule estimates for development of concepts to technology readiness level 6 - full system verification in a simulated environment. Sixteen concepts were presented to Technology Review Panels (TRP), and discussed. Each concept was compared to a baseline manned Mars mission. A preliminary comparison of ratings made by the TRP's is presented herein for mission benefit, safety, technical risk, and development cost.
