Abstract

The use of composite and ceramic materials instead of metal ones in constructing of high-load elements of nuclear space power systems of greater capacity allows decreasing a mass of nuclear space power systems and increasing an operating temperature. Some technical and technological decisions along with the results of mechanical tests are presented in the paper. Issues requiring additional investigations are raised.
