0 Results**Heat-Pipe Micro Modular Reactor for Space Nuclear Electric Propulsion** This project develops a simplified 3D CAD model of a heat-pipe-cooled micro modular reactor (MMR) intended for space nuclear electric propulsion. The reactor core consists of nuclear fuel regions, structural material, reflector/shielding components, and multiple heat pipes arranged around the core to remove thermal energy generated by nuclear fission. The heat pipes transfer heat from the reactor core to an external power-conversion system, where the thermal energy can be converted into electrical power for an electric propulsion system. The Onshape model will be used to investigate the reactor geometry, heat-pipe arrangement, component dimensions, and overall integration of the reactor system for future neutronic and thermal analysis.
