Title: TFE design package final report, TFE Verification Program

Abstract

The program objective is to demonstrate the technology readiness of a TFE suitable for use as the basic element in a thermionic reactor with electric power output in the 0.5 to 5.0 MW(e) range, and a full-power life of 7 years. A TFE for a megawatt class system is described. Only six cells are considered for simplicity; a megawatt class TFE would have many more cells, the exact number dependent on optimization trade studies.
