Materials Development. Vacuum furnace tests of UO/sub 2/Mo and UO/sub 2/ --W fuel-clad specimens at 1800 and 2000 deg C, respectively, showed no evidence of interaction. W-clad UO/sub 2/ test assemblies were fabricated for the pilot irradiation capsule. Converter Development. The fabrication of two in-plie/out- of-pile conventers was completed, and the characteristics of one were determined. Reactor Design and Analysis. Preliminary thermal and stress analyses of the ceIIs were made, and electrical resistance considerations in emitter-fuel clad thickness were examined. Critical mass calculations were made for thermionic reactor cores of varying sizes. (D.L.C.)
