A discussion of Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP) thrusters and facilities is presented in vugraph form. The NEP thrusters are discussed in the context of the following three items: (1) establishing a 100 H test capability for 100-kW magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thrusters; (2) demonstrating a lightweight 20-kW krypton ion thruster; and (3) the optimization of the design of low-mass power processor transformers. The primary accomplishment at NEP facilities was the completion of the Electric Propulsion Laboratory's (EPL's) tank 5 cryopump upgrade.
