Abstract

Discussion of the potential threats to population from accidents involving satellite payloads utilizing radioisotopes for power generation or heating. Accidents include launch aborts and on-orbit failures that subsequently lead to Earth impact and possible release of radioactive materials. Understanding risks and acceptance prior to launch and contingency operations used to mitigate impact or release.
