The Bimodal Epithermal Astronuclear Reactor (BEAR): A Long-Lived, Universal Space Nuclear Powerplant [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] by J. Stephen Herring, Teyen Widdicombe, Brad Kirkwood

“…Two major investigations have been undertaken and evolved over time; one into the requisites for the provision of electrical power to the propelled spacecraft via the circulation of a noble gas mixture in a closed Brayton cycle, and another into the use of planetary regolith as a reflector, reducing neutron leakage at what would otherwise be the reactor’s end of life in vacuo, rekindling it for an extended period of time as well as providing a very easy ultimate disposal solution, replacing the control drums with rods. It was determined that there are no insurmountable obstacles to performance in either mode.…”
