Nuclear Safety Policy Working Group Recommendations on Nuclear Propulsion Safety for the Space Exploration Initiative by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Pdf
An interagency Nuclear Safety Working Group (NSPWG) was chartered to recommend nuclear safety policy, requirements, and guidelines for the Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) nuclear propulsion program. These recommendations, which are contained in this report, should facilitate the implementation of mission planning and conceptual design studies. The NSPWG has recommended a top-level policy to provide the guiding principles for the development and implementation of the SEI nuclear propulsion safety program. In addition, the NSPWG has reviewed safety issues for nuclear propulsion and recommended top-level safety requirements and guidelines to address these issues. These recommendations should be useful for the development of the program's top-level requirements for safety functions (referred to as Safety Functional Requirements). The safety requirements and guidelines address the following topics: reactor start-up, inadvertent criticality, radiological release and exposure, disposal, entry, safeguards, risk/reliability, operational safety, ground testing, and other considerations.

Nuclear Safety for the Space Exploration Initiative by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Pdf
The results of a study to identify potential hazards arising from nuclear reactor power systems for use on the lunar and Martian surfaces, related safety issues, and resolutions of such issues by system design changes, operating procedures, and other means are presented. All safety aspects of nuclear reactor power systems from prelaunch ground handling to eventual disposal were examined consistent with the level of detail for SP-100 reactor design at the 1988 System Design Review and for launch vehicle and space transport vehicle designs and mission descriptions as defined in the 90-day Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) study. Information from previous aerospace nuclear safety studies was used where appropriate. Safety requirements for the SP-100 space nuclear reactor system were compiled. Mission profiles were defined with emphasis on activities after low earth orbit insertion. Accident scenarios were then qualitatively defined for each mission phase. Safety issues were identified for all mission phases with the aid of simplified event trees. Safety issue resolution approaches of the SP-100 program were compiled. Resolution approaches for those safety issues not covered by the SP-100 program were identified. Additionally, the resolution approaches of the SP-100 program were examined in light of the moon and Mars missions. Dix, Terry E.

Safety Design for Space Operations by Tommaso Sgobba,Firooz A. Allahdadi Pdf
This chapter is divided into three sections. The first discusses Mission Control Center (MCC) design and operations. This covers the need for and purpose of the MCC and then details structure, operations, design considerations, and mitigation of external events. The second section, on hazardous commands identification and control, explores identification of hazardous commands and then, implementation, including two-step commanding and error prevention, giving the International Space Station life support system as an example. The final section, on flight rules, covers the history of flight rules and their application, use and purpose in space flight, including their documentation and production process.
