An evolutionary approach for a compact-split-core reactor.An economical approach for advanced reactor power development is presented, and systems that result from the several stages of this plan are described. The development starts with a highly modularized heat-pipe, radioisotopic design and evolves into a low-specific-weight, high-performance reactor system.
