The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Glenn Research Center (GRC) has an extensive history in dynamic energy conversion dating back to the early 1960s. This legacy puts the GRC at the forefront of nuclear power systems using thermodynamic power cycles such as Stirling and Brayton. The advantages of dynamic energy conversion include high efficiency, long life, and scalability to high power. These attributes make Brayton and Stirling power cycles an ideal solution for nuclear energy conversion.
