@elizayer If you can find a used copy at a reasonable price, "Space Nuclear Power" is an interesting text. A tiny power reactor needs to get rid of heat and the only way to do that is with thermal radiation. The size and weight of the radiators needed is prohibitive. It's all so stupid from every perspective. https://www.amazon.com/Space-Nuclear-Power-Orbit-foundation/dp/0894640003
