Description

An overview is presented of planned future directions of thermionic energy conversion research for the next decade. The primary focus will be on space nuclear power applications in the ten to thousand kW range. In addition to refining the state of the art for the conventional ignited mode converter, there are more generic technologies which will be pursued for a wide range of duty cycles
