Report Description:
NASA is developing advanced nuclear power system technologies, generally plutonium-238-based radioisotope power systems, to expand solar system exploration where conventional solar or chemical powered space flight is less effective. In this audit, we evaluated NASA’s management of the plutonium-238 it uses to power deep space satellite missions, nuclear power technology development, and the Program’s effectiveness in supporting NASA science missions.
