The basic technical characteristics of a conceptual design of micropellet fuel autonomous liquid-salt reactor MARS for low power levels are presented. Two variants with core service lives 15 and 60 yr are presented. It is shown that this concept satisfies the requirements which autonomous low-power nuclear power systems must meet.
