OSTI ID:20000374
The Series II alkali metal thermal to electric converter (AMTEC) cell, developed over the last two year, represents a significant engineering advance in AMTEC technology, and major step toward spacecraft power systems. The PX-5 cell design was developed as an early prototype in stainless steel alloys. This design will evolve into the PX-6 engineering cell and finally into the EPX-1 to be used in the Advanced Radioisotope Power System (ARPS) program. The EPX-1 cell will be all-refractory metal. Late work on the PX-5 and early work on the PX-6 will be described.
