A comprehensive report I wrote back in 1991 for NASA is available online.

http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19920005899_1992005899.pdf

This took over 1 year of research, and is very comprehensive regarding nuclear propulsion.

Hmmm -- sure wish I could have a look at it.... unfortunately the link doesn't seem to work. Perhaps you could direct us to the NASA page where the link appears, and how to identify it ?

Thanks.

The report in question can be found at:

http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19920005899_1992005899.pdf

The title is "Overview of Rover Engine Tests Final Report"

It is a 308 page PDF and should make very interesting reading. I did not know that there was a NASA PDF archive open to the public--thanks for the links and the article. Thanks for posting Jim--welcome aboard!

OK, I found out what the problem was -- my browser didn't like the blank space near the end of the URL. Once I took it out, it found the pdf document (11 MB) :

This URL works:

http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19920005899_1992005899.pdf

This one doesn't:

PS. one would have thought that by 1991, such a report would have been prepared using an electronic word processor..... Oh well...
