THE PURPOSE OF THE SAR IS TO DOCUMENT THE RESPONSE OF SPACE NUCLEAR POWER SOURCES TO THE CREDIBLE LAUNCH AND REENTRY ACCIDENT SCENARIOS (AND THEIR ASSOCIATED MECHANICAL AND THERMAL INSULT ENVIRONMENTS) AS SPECIFIED IN THE NASA-PROVIDED LAUNCH VEHICLE DATABOOK, AND TO QUANTIFY THE RADIOLOGICAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MISSION. THIS SAR ALONG WITH OTHER SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION IS USED BY THE MARS 2020 INTERAGENCY SAFETY REVIEW PANEL (INSRP) TO EVALUATE THE RISK ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS AND TO PREPARE A SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT (SER). THE SER IS USED AS A CRITICAL DATA POINT IN DETERMINING IF THE RISK DUE TO THE RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS IS WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS AND IF THE PRESIDENT SHOULD GRANT LAUNCH APPROVAL. |
