The purpose of developing space nuclear power in Russia is to establish an advanced scientific and technological base on unified key components of samples of space nuclear power and propulsion engineering products. Establishment of said base will reduce time required for development of nuclear power and power/propulsion systems (NPS and NPPS) in the future, should a decision is made on deployment of space complexes that require nuclear power sources. The paper presents the authors’ point of view with regard to the following major issues of the Concept of Space Nuclear Power Development in Russia: purposes and missions for development of space nuclear power, safety of space NPS and NPPS, direction of work, international cooperation, expected results of work on space NPS and NPPS in the period of 1996–2000.
