Thermionic space power system concept

Abstract

A 100 kWe thermionic nuclear power system conceptual design has been completed as part of the SP-100 space power program. The configuration and performance of the baseline system and its components are described along with the rationale for the selection of coolant and structural material. Growth and scalability are also discussed.
