Abstract

A concept on how to use a power source of the type of reactors for nuclear thermal propulsion in the Earth’s defense system under condition of asteroid-comet hazard is presented. The concept is verified by unique results obtained in the field of physics and thermal physics for reactors and technologies for designing prototypes under performance of the state program on developing nuclear propulsion in the Soviet Union. The created reactor IRGIT, which is the prototype of the nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP), and the reactor IVG, which is the model of high-power NTP reactor, are examined as basic reactors for two lines.

小行星-彗星危险条件下地球防御系统中用于核热推进的反应堆类型的动力源

摘要

提出了一种在小行星彗星危险条件下如何在地球防御系统中使用反应堆类型的电源进行核热推进的概念。通过在反应堆物理和热物理领域获得的独特成果以及根据苏联发展核动力国家计划执行的技术设计原型的技术，这一概念得到了验证。核反应堆IRGIT是核热推进（NTP）的原型，而反应堆IVG是大功率NTP反应堆的模型，已作为两条反应堆的基本反应堆进行了检查。
