Zusammenfassung:	The TRIGA Oceanographic Power Supply (TOPS) is designed to provide 100 kw of electrical power for a Manned Underwater Station (MUS). The design is based on utilization of existing technology both in the reactor and energy conversion unit. The nuclear steam supply module is based on the widely used TRIGA research reactor. It contains the entire pressurized water primary coolant circuit and the steam generator. The U-ZrH-fueled, water-cooled core is characterized by unique features of inherent safety with load-following capability. The result is a simple system requiring a minimum of attendance by an operator. Design emphasis throughout the study has been placed on reliability, minimum risk, and utilization of off-the-shelf equipment, with plant efficiency taking a subordinate position. The basic TOPS nuclear steam supply module is designed to support alternative power conversion systems for producing up to 500 kw net electrical power. (Author)
