Analysis of publications shows that the term "advanced power
plants" may refer to the following power plants (PP): high-powersteam turbine or gas turbine power plants (like SNAP-50),
j medium-range nuclear PP with thermionic or thermoelectric
conversion (like "Topaz" or SP-100) as well as some other types ofPP (for example, solar PP with energy concentrators).
For excessive power rejection into space from space powerplants (SPP) or thermal control systems of spacecraft (S/C) ortheir life support systems conventional radiators are used.flow-through radiators (finned tubes through which a liquid or
gaseous heat carrier flows) or heat pipes operating in autonomousmode.
The radiator inlet temperature may vary from T = 300 to 1200K The radiator specific mass dependence from Tb for conventionalradiators (both, in-use and advanced) was derived from thef American da a and is shown on Fig.l.

indicate that the DSR specific mass (mb ) may be 1.5-2 (or evenmore) times less than that of conventional radiators
Besides, DSR are practically 100% meteor-proof. Here afterthere are presented some theoretical materials from [1] andexperimental data on droplet generation with jet nozzles obtainedat MAI.
A DSR scheme is given on Fig.2 with general designations. Thefollowing parameters are introduced:
Droplet concentration:

Droplet micro and macro cross-sections:

This relationship was proven experimentally. The collapsing
length for solid streams is much less than the DSR length L.
