NETS 2015 is the premier conference for landed and in-space applications in 2015. With authors from universities, national laboratories, NASA facilities and industry, NETS 2015 will provide an excellent communication network and forum for infor- mation exchange. Topic Areas NASA is currently considering capabilities for robotic and crewed missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Strategies that implement advanced power and propul- sion technologies, as well as radiation protection, will be important in accomplish- ing these missions in the future. NETS serves as a major communications network and forum for professionals and students working in the area of space nuclear technology. Every year it facilitates the exchange of information among research and management personnel from international government, industry, academia, and the national laboratory systems. To this end, the NETS 2015 meeting will address topics ranging from overviews of current programs to methods of meeting the challenges of future space endeavors. 3 Conference Organizers John Bess, Ph.D. Alice Caponiti Pete Worden, Ph.D. General Chair General Chair General Chair Idaho National Laboratory U.S. Department of Energy NASA Ames Research Center Tony Kim Wes Deason Technical Chair Technical Chair NASA Marshal Space Flight Center for Space Nuclear Center Research, USRA 4 Conference Organizers Nathan Jerred Blair Bromley Delisa Rogers Publications International Chair Conference Coordinator Center for Space Nuclear Atomic Energy for Canada Center for Space Nuclear Research, USRA Limited Research, USRA Margaret Marshall Chris Morrison Publications Chair Communications Chair Idaho National Laboratory Rensseleaer Polytechnic Institute 5 Organizing Committees Honorary Chairs Publications Chairs: David Schurr Nathan Jerred NASA HQ Center for Space Nuclear Research, Scott Seymour USRA Aerojet Rocketdyne [email protected] John Kelly, PhD, Margaret Marshall U.S. Department of Energy Idaho National Laboratory [email protected] Bill Gerstenmaier NASA HQ International Chair: General Chairs: Blair Bromley Atomic Energy of Canada Limited Pete Worden, PhD, NASA ARC [email protected] Alice Caponiti U.S. Department of Energy Communications Chair: [email protected] Christopher Morrison John Bess, PhD Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Idaho National Laboratory [email protected] [email protected] Finance and Exhibits Chair and Conference Coordinator: Technical Chairs: Wes Deason Delisa Rogers Center for Space Nuclear Research, Center for Space Nucelar Research, USRA USRA [email protected] [email protected] Tony Kim NASA MSFC [email protected] 6 Session Chairs and Reviewers Track I: Radioisotope Power Systems Track Chair: Kelly Lively, Idaho National Laboratory Dr. Richard Ambrosi University of Leicester Ms. Rebecca Onuschak DOE-Office of Nuclear Energy Dr. Stephen Johnson Idaho National Laboratory Ms. June Zakrajsek NASA-Glenn Research Center Ms. Young Lee Jet Propulsion Laboratory Mr. Dirk Cairns-Gallimore DOE-NE75 Dr. Robert Wham Oak Ridge National Laboratory Mr. Thomas Sutliff NASA-Glenn Research Center Dr. Jean-Pierre Fleurial Jet Propulsion Laboratory Dr. Daniel Kramer University of Dayton Research Institute Track II: Fission Power and Electric Propulsion Track Chair: Patrick McClure, Los Alamos National Laboratory Dr. D.V.

GenCorp is a diversified company providing innovative solutions to its customers in the aero- space and defense, energy and real estate markets. Additional information about Aerojet Rocketdyne and GenCorp can be obtained by visiting the companies’ websites at www.Rocket.com and www.GenCorp.com. The UK’s National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) offers an unrivalled breadth of techni- cal products and services to our customers across the whole nuclear industry. Covering the complete nuclear fuel cycle from fuel manufacture and power genera- tion, through to reprocessing, waste treatment and disposal and including defence, new nuclear build and Homeland Security. NNL provides these services supported by an impressive range of facilities and links with international research organi- sations, academia and other national laboratories. NNL’s facilities are second to none. The Central Laboratory at Sellafield is the most modern nuclear research fa- cility in the world. The Windscale Laboratory provides Post-Irradiation Examination (PIE) and other services critical to plant life extension. At Workington NNL operates a non-radioactive test rig facility and at Preston NNL operates a uranium active chemistry laboratory. NNL also has staff at the Risley, Stonehouse and Harwell sites providing Head Office functions, graphite technology, radiation chemistry and modelling/simulation. Appointed by the European Space Agency (ESA), NNL’s role has been to find a sustainable power source in batteries to power future European space missions beyond Mars. After finding that americium was the ideal power source, NNL then started examining the logistical and chemical issues involved in the separation of americium from plutonium. NNL is now a key player in a European wide space programme. 8 NETS 2015 General Schedule Monday February 23, 2015 7:00 am - 8:00 am Registration Registration Desk Session Preparation Exhibitition Hall (Acoma) 8:00 am - 10:00 am Opening Plenary Pecos/Sandia Welcome and Q&A • David Schurr, NASA HQ • Scott Seymour, Aerojet Rocketdyne • John Kelly, DOE-NE 10:00 am - 10:30 am Refreshments Exhibition Hall (Acoma) 10:30 am - 12:30 pm Plenary Pecos/Sandia • Pete Worden, NASA ARC • Alice Caponiti, DOE-NE • John Bess, Idaho National Laboratory 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm Lunch Break On your own 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm Technical Sessions Salons A, B, C, D 4:00 pm - 4:30 pm Refreshments Exhibition Hall 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm Technical Sessions Salons A, B, C, D 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm Opening Tapas Reception National Museum of Nuclear Science & History Sponsored by National Nuclear Lab Tuesday February 24, 2015 8:00 am - 10:00 am Technical Sessions Salons A, B, C, D 10:00 am - 10:30 am Refreshments Exhibition Hall 10:30 am - 12:30 pm Technical Sessions Salons A, B, C, D 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm Lunch Break On your own 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm Technical Sessions Salons A, B, C, D 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm Refreshments Exhibition Hall 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm Technical Sessions Salons A, B, C, D 9 NETS 2015 General Schedule Evening Dinner On your own Wednesday February 25, 2015 8:00 am - 10:00 am Technical Sessions Salons A, B, C, D 10:00 am - 10:30 am Refreshments Exhibition Hall 10:30 am - 12:30 pm Technical Sessions Salons A, B, C, D 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm Lunch On your own 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm Technical Sessions Salons A, B, C, D 3:30 pm - 4:00 pm Refreshments Exhibition Hall 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm Technical Sessions Salons A, B, C, D 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm Dinner Banquet Marriott Ballroom Sponsored by Aerojet-Rocketdyne Speaker: Bill Gerstenmaier, NASA HQ Thursday February 26, 2015 Morning Tour Sandia National Lab 10
