Jeffrey Smith the Washington Post Washington a the department of defense has begun secretly developing an extraordinary nuclear reactor powered rocket capable of lifting immense weapons or satellites into space on Short notice administration officials and Independent experts disclosed tuesday. The new rocket is considered years away from completion. It would be propelled into orbit or pushed through space by a novel compact nuclear reactor being studied by researchers under the direction of the strategic defense initiative. Ski popularly called Star wars is aimed at building a defense against soviet missile attack. The rocket s design would differ sharply from that of existing models which Are propelled by chemical fuels. It would offer potentially far greater thrust while also probably posing a greater safety Hazard in any accidental explosion or crash. Officials said the ski program code named Timber wind has not been described Iii Public documents or subjected to Public scrutiny despite past controversy Over any potential use of radioactive fuel in spacecraft capable of orbiting Earth. The programs existence however evidently has been divulged to a limited number of legislators and congressional staff members. Although the program is Only a few years old researchers already have conducted tests on the fuel elements for a prototype reactor and studied safety hazards associated with a suborbital test flight that could pass Over the Antarctic and new zealand according to government documents obtained by the Washington Post from a source who declined to be named the programs existence was revealed by the federation of Aitie rican scientists which tuesday denounced the idea As a potential Public Hazard and a waste of Money. A the veil of secrecy around this program reveals a remarkable contempt for the taxpayers a said Steven Aftergood a senior research analyst for the group in Washington. An official with the ski sensors and interceptors office which runs the classified Timber wind program declined to comment As did maj. Carolyn Channave a spokeswoman for the ski organization several other officials said they were barred by Law from describing the programs budget or any of its goals. . Officials have told Congress that nuclear reactors aboard future military or civilian space vehicles would not be started until they had been orbited at an Altitude sufficient to prevent any hazardous radioactive material from re entering the Earth a atmosphere. But the documents state that officials have considered flying an operating nuclear reactor developed by the Timber wind program Over Remote Antarctic regions within the Earth a atmosphere. The documents indicate that experts at Sandia National laboratories in Albuquerque n.m., estimated the probability of a crash Landing in nearby new zealand at Only 4.3 out of-10,000. Officials elsewhere have also asserted that the flight would meet relevant safety standards and pose Little risk to humans. Ground tests associated with the reactor have been set for a Remote portion of the governments  test site in Nevada according to government documents. Officials Haye projected that even if an Accident caused the reactors Core to melt completely radiation Levels would increase Only slightly at the Sites boundaries. A when operated properly the reactor is supposed to generate sufficient heat to vaporize liquid Hydrogen fuel producing More thrust than Standard chemical rocket propulsion. ,. The concept is considered an improvement on nuclear reactor propelled rockets envisioned under the govern Mem s Rover program from 1955 to 1972, because it wild incorporate Small specially coated fuel elements capable of transferring heat with great efficiency
