SIMULATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE SOLAR FLARE ON INITIAL STAGE OF THE START UP OF THE NUCLEAR REACTOR FOR SPACE PURPOSES
In the given work the investigation of the influence of the intense solar flare on the initial stage of the start up of the nuclear reactor for space purposes has been considered. The estimations of the number of fissions in the reactor core at the peak were realized and also the analisys taking into account the reactor kinetics during start up. The obtained results shows that the influence of intense solar flares must be considered during program design of the launch of spacecrafts with nuclear power units aboard and also during timing of physical start up of the reactor at the orbit.
