  • Abstract
    A unique power system for space, submarine propulsion, and applications in remote areas should result from the successful coupling of nuclear reactors with thermionic converters. Three conceptual designs of thermionic nuclear reactors are reviewed to establish requirements for performance characteristics and materials and to pinpoint some of the problem areas
