Rover/Nerva Destruct System Test Results Aberdeen Proving Ground - 3

Abstract

The ROVER/NERVA Nuclear Propulsion Engine destruct test was performed to determine the distribution, particle size and mass, and particle velocity of the debris. These debris data are the input data for a computer analysis of the safety aspects of using the NERVA reactor for space flight. Reported in this document are the debris distribution, size, mass, and velocity measured during the destruct test. These data are presented as tables and as graphs.
