A system and method are provided for low probability to intercept (LPI) free-space optical (FSO) communications. A transmitter transmits a broadband light (e.g., but not limited to a full width half maximum of 10 nm or more) that is in a solar-radiation spectrum, and the broadband light is modulated using a modulation scheme (e.g., binary phase shift keying). The modulated light encodes a data packet that includes a header and a codeword generated using an error correction code. After propagating through an FSO channel, the receiver collects the transmitted modulated light and used one or more balanced detectors heterodyne detectors at different center wavelengths to convert the received light to respective RF signals, which are then processed to recover the information data encoded in the codeword.

Insulated fuel assembly core with axially arranged fuel monoliths including channels and having a composition including a fissionable fuel component, exhaust support plate, exhaust shield assembly, and insulation layer. Fuel monoliths have an eccentric cylinder shape or a right circular cylinder shape with side surface keyway. The eccentric shape and/or a keyway (with associated alignment rod) provide alignment. Channels in the exhaust support plate are oriented so propellant gas flowing from the fuel monoliths through the exhaust support plate does not impinge the exhaust shield assembly. Insulated fuel assembly cores are manufactured by forming a tensioned fuel monolith stack mandrel assembly using mandrel spacers and internal tensioning components and mandrel winding an insulation layer on an outer surface of the tensioned fuel monolith stack mandrel assembly. Insulated fuel assembly cores can be incorporated into fuel assemblies of nuclear propulsion fission reactor structures, for example, a nuclear thermal propulsion engine.
