Summary:

Some of the more significant interactions between the radiator and vehicle of nuclear electric spacecraft are considered. This includes the selection of indirect versus direct condensing in the radiator; meteoroid armor and bumper criteria; booster constraints; aero shroud and structural integration; the significance of headers and feeds, electric transmission lines, and nuclear radiation shielding; and the magnitude of the structure contribution to system optimization. It is concluded that a conical or cylindrical radiator is the lightest and most generally applicable configuration from an overall system viewpoint
