Wikipedia; Project Rover was an American project to develop a nuclear thermal rocket. The program ran at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory from 1955 through 1972 and involved the Atomic Energy Commission, and NASA. The project was managed by the Space Nuclear Propulsion Office.[1]

Nuclear reactors for the Rover program were built at the Lab's Technical Area 18 (TA-18), also known as Pajarito Site. The reactors were tested at very low power and subsequently shipped to Jackass Flats at the Nevada Test Site. Testing of fuel elements and other materials science was done by N-Division in Los Alamos at TA-46 using various ovens and later the Nuclear Furnace. Parallel fuel rod development took place off-site at Rocky Flats.

Project Rover could be divided into three phases: Kiwi, between 1955 and 1964, Phoebus, taking place between 1964 and 1969, and Pewee, taking place between 1969 and the project's cancellation along with the cancellation of the NERVA rocket at the end of 1972. Kiwi and Phoebus were large reactors; Pewee 1 and Pewee 2 were much smaller and they conformed to the smaller budget available after 1968. Both Kiwi and Phoebus became part of the NERVA program.[2]

Kiwi

"Project Rover; develop a nuclear thermal rocket, The first phase of Project Rover, Kiwi, was named after the large flightless bird. It consisted of a series of non-flyable test nuclear engines, with primary focus on improving the technology of hydrogen-cooled reactors. Between 1959 and 1964, a total of eight reactors were built and tested. After conclusion of these experiments in 1964, further efforts were concentrated towards larger and more powerful Phoebus reactors.[4] Kiwi was considered successful proof that nuclear rockets could be considered not only feasible but highly reliable and advantageous for space travel.

Phoebus



Phoebus was Phase Two of Project Rover. The focus was placed on achieving more power than was possible with Kiwi units and maintaining the maximum power for ever longer duration. The work on Phoebus was started in 1963, with a total of 3 engines being built and tested between 1965 and 1968.

Phoebus A-1 was tested on July 25, 1965, at Jackass Flats. A second test occurred three years later. Both tests were considered highly successful.

Pewee


Pewee became Phase Three of Project Rover. It was small, easy to test, and well-sized for unmanned scientific interplanetary missions or small nuclear "tugs".

ATOMS FOR PEACE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN BY MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX



The Atoms For Peace program resulted in a lot of money being spent for many generations on pie in the sky schemes, such as a nuclear bomb powered rocket program. Disneyland was actually behind the original TV show that proposed all of these Atoms For Peace programs, which originated inside of the CIA and the military industrial project. Disneyland and it's atomic powered everything TV propaganda show helped to push deadly radiation technology into many areas of daily life.

The idea behind nuclear powered rockets or using 1,000 nuclear bombs to launch just one rocket into orbit into space is insane.  The 'experts' calculated that this would result in only 1 additional cancer per launch and it would not really have any effect on the radiation belts around Earth, nor on the satellites, despite plenty of evidence that shows the opposite.

PROJECT NERVA 

OPEN FISSION REACTOR BURNING RADIOACTIVE HYDROGEN GAS WITH NO CONTAINMENT, NO FILTERS


NERVA, Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application
Wikipedia; At one point in 1965, during a test at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, the liquid hydrogen storage at Test Cell #2 was accidentally allowed to run dry; the core overheated and ejected on to the floor of the Nevada desert.

NUCLEAR REACTOR MELTED DOWN AND OUT


Test Site personnel waited 3 weeks and then walked out and collected the pieces without mishap. The nuclear waste from the damaged core was spread across the desert and was collected by an Army group as a decontamination exercise.

Project NERVA was an acronym for Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application, a joint program of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and NASA managed by the Space Nuclear Propulsion Office (SNPO) at the Nuclear Rocket Development Station in Jackass Flats, Nevada U.S.A.Between 1959 and 1972, the Space Nuclear Propulsion Office oversaw 23 reactor tests, both the program and the office ended at the end of 1972.

RADIOACTIVE HYDROGEN GAS STREAMED INTO AIR WITH NO LIMITS, NO ONE WAS WARNED DOWNWIND

What none of the videos and descriptions above talk about is that a nuclear core melted down on at least one occasion, releasing massive amounts of radiation, just like any other nuclear reactor melting down. No one was warned, and no one was given KI tablets or anything else. 

To perform these tests, an open fission reactor with no radiation safety systems or shielding was put out in the open and hydrogen gas was heated up inside of the reactor and then burned out in the open air. At the point where it entered and then left the reactor, this gas became radioactive due to neutron activation, which all of the accounts above fail to mention somehow. Massive quantities of poisonous, radioactive gas were shot up into the air on numerous occasions, but again, no one was warned or notified downwind. 

They claim no one was injured or died from the melt down of a nuclear reactor. According to them, the release of massive quantities of radioactive hydrogen had no effect on anyone or anything. All of these descriptions make for good pro nuclear propaganda, but none of it is true.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF US SOLDIERS FORCED TO TAKE PART IN SECRET ATOMIC RADIATION 'EXPERIMENTS', WITH NO PROTECTION, MONITORING OR HEALTHCARE


The army troops sent in to 'decontaminate' the area were not warned. They were not given dosimeters or monitored after this 'experiment'. Many of them suffered from radiation exposure and sickness, but no one told them this was the cause and no doctors checked them for this, as it was all covered up.

WHAT HAPPENS IF A NUCLEAR POWERED ROCKET FAILS ON LAUNCH PAD, OR IN AIR, OR IN LOW EARTH ORBIT? 

Launching a nuclear reactor into the air is worse than launching a nuclear bomb on top of a rocket. Why? A nuclear bomb contains possibly 10 pounds of uranium. A nuclear reactor can contain up to 100 TONS of uranium and/or plutonium. Plutonium is orders of magnitude worse in terms of killing power and cancer causing potential than uranium. What happens if one or more of these nuclear reactors on a rocket fails on the launchpad? What happens if it fails on the way up or in orbit?

These satellites containing a couple of pounds of plutonium are bad enough. But imagine TONS of uranium and/or plutonium melting and turning into gas and hot particles in the atmosphere or on the launch pad as a huge fireball and explosion of hydrogen gas consumes everything? Of course, if something goes wrong, the moderators will probably fail as well, meaning that the reactor will melt down in space, in the air or on the ground launchpad, as we already have one example of above. Without any containment, and out in the open air, a melting down reactor is a mega nuclear disaster, worse than Chernobyl and TMI.
