Space nuclear power reactor info needed

I'm looking for diagrams of high-power (hudreds of kW is good,
multi-megawatt is better) *modern* space nuclear power reactors. Don't
need to be high detail, but I need something that I can use for getting
in the ballpark on dimensions, shapes, etc.

Print references are good, links are better, scans are best. Any help
would be appreciated.

For power generation or propulsion? Have you already checked stuff
for Timberwind and Prometheus?

Power. Propulsion is already taken care of...

I don't know how useful this is but try this

page 3.

How do we know it's _really_ Scott Lowther that wants this? For all we
know, Scott could be in the hands of Blofeld, and we the unwitting
dupes of SPECTRE and its plans for world domination from space... just a
thought. Okay, would you believe Hugo Drax and another crew of
genetically perfect humans? How about three CHAOS agents with a plan to
corner the Lunar cheese market?

You say that like it's a bad thing.

You're not *too* far off..

Pat, of anyone on here who might reasonably be planning world
domination, Scott's high on the shortlist ;-)

Best send for 007-Britain to the rescue of America...again-then. :-p

Actually further on it has enough diagrams that you could ballpark the
dimensions.

I assume you're already familiar with;

http://gif.inel.gov/roadmap/pdfs/006..._syst ems.pdf

and

http://gif.inel.gov/roadmap/pdfs/018...ems_report.pdf

http://www3.inspi.ufl.edu/ICAPP/prog...racts/1159.pdf

or here if you're willing to pass some lettuce ;-)

http://topics.aip.org/2850K_FS.html

of course these are mostly NTR (focused) concepts, if you're just
looking for power sources, which is silly, IMO, I have some more
relevant sites.
