The operational hazards associated with the use of an isotope-fueled auxiliary power unit for a satellite mission are described. The effects of missile about on the generator are discussed. The generator design is described, and the properties of the various fuel forms are investigated. The characteristics of the fuel capsules and the provisions for biological shielding are also described. Integration of the generator into a typical missile system is discussed. Hazards and procedures of transporting and handling the fuel cores from fabrication to launchlng are considered. Aborted missions are defined, and the forces acting on the generator during abort are described. (W.D.M.
