Abstract
This paper presents the unique features of the nuclear power plant which makes its use superior to other types of power plants for many field applications. Particular emphasis is placed upon utilization at tracking stations and remote launch sites. The PM-1 Nuclear Power Plant at Sundance Air Force Station, Wyoming, is described to illustrate a field application.
