As part of the launch approval process, the Interagency Nuclear Safety Review Panel (INSRP) provides an independent safety assessment of space missions, such as the Cassini mission, that carry a significant amount of nuclear materials. This paper describes potential accident scenarios that might lead to release of Plutonium from an accidental reentry during an Earth swingby maneuver. Because of large extrapolations from the current knowledge base, the analysis emphasized treatment of uncertainties.
