Tritium in the Environment from Nuclear Powerplants [PDF]
T IRITIUM, an isotope of hydrogen with an atomic mass number of three, is produced in nuclear reactors in substantial quantities. Although tritium is one lof the least hazardous radioactive nuclides, its continued production and long half-life for radioactive decay may lead to increased levels in the environment.

Impact loading of a space nuclear powerplant
Preferred formulation of the problem in two space dimensions are described for solving the three fundamental equations of mechanics (conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, and conservation of energy). Models of the behavior of materials provide the closure to the three fundamentals equations for applications to problems in compressible fluid ...
