Original Thesis and Textbook Outline

Substantial rewrites are needed before my original thesis is ready to be published as a nuclear spacecraft textbook.  However it will still be of value to those considering nuclear space vehicle missions.  I present the full thesis for any who are interested.
A preliminary chapter outline for the rewrite follows, along with the thesis chapter to be revised or rewritten:

Section 1: Review of Basic Concepts

1. Nuclear Reactor Mechanics (ch.2)
2. Thermodynamics and Cycle Analysis (new)
3. Rocket Engine Mechanics (new)
4. Nuclear Vehicle Structures (ch.3)

Section 2: Propulsion System Models

1. Nuclear Electric (ch.4)
2. Nuclear Thermal (ch.5)
3. Nuclear Reaction Product (ch.7)
4. Nuclear Pulse (ch.6)

Section 3: Mission Analysis

1. Orbital Mechanics Intro (ch.1)
2. Orbit Transfers (ch.1)
3. Interstellar Flight (new)

Section 4: Conclusions

Detailed chapter outlines and revised chapter drafts will follow.
