Preliminary Safety Analysis Report and Design Review of the 2 KW(e) Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator

Abstract

A Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) and Design Review have been conducted for the 2 KW(e) Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG). The objective of the PSAR was to appraise the risk to public health and safety resulting from the handling, transportation, emplacement, operation and recovery of the RTG system. The objective of the Design Review was to determine the state of development of the RTG system and its components and assess its ability to properly and reliably function in an undersea environment.
