Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for preventing or at least significantly reducing shock to spacecraft such as satellites when releasing a hold-down rod assembly that clamps the spacecraft to, for example, a launch vehicle adaptor. The hold-down rod assembly has tension rods that may be pre-loaded at considerable tension in order to hold down a stack of spacecraft in a launch configuration. In an embodiment, pneumatic actuators are used to slowly release the tension in the tension rods. Therefore, shock to the spacecraft is prevented or at least significantly reduced.

Abstract: Reactor core and thermal neutron fission reactor has fuel rods with a composite fuel composition (each having the same uniform cross-section along their axial length), end plates at first and second ends, and intermediate support plates located along a longitudinal length of the reactor core. In a radial cross-section, the fuel rods are arranged at nodes of a hexagonal pitch arrangement, in which the nodes are in a spaced-apart arrangement and interconnected by ligaments. Openings between the nodes form part of a coolant flow path through the thermal neutron reactor core. At least two of the nodes of the hexagonal pitch arrangement are sized to allow insertion, translation, removal, or a combination thereof of auxiliary equipment, such as a target delivery system (TDS) for isotopes. Thermal neutron flux (neutrons ?0.06 eV) is maximized for maximum neutron activation potential, which is applied to produce both commercial and research isotopes.
