INVESTIGATIONS ON THE DIRECT CONVERSION OF NUCLEAR FISSION ENERGY TO ELECTRICAL ENERGY IN PLASMA DIODE. Final Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4028039
fission-fragment noble-gas plasma diode for the direct conversion of nuclear energy into electric energy. In the experimental study, measurements were made on the following items: (1) electron emissivity of uranium-bearing cathodes, (2) spectra or cesium plasmas, and (3) properties of a pulsed noble-gas plasma diode.
