RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF RADIOISOTOPE HEATER. Quarterly Progress Report No. 2 for July 16 to October 15, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4180866
A successful test was conducted in which the desired operating temperature (700 plus or minus 25 deg C) on a cathode was attained with an electrical heater. Designs for two temperature-controlling devices were completed. An analysis of these designs demonstrated that it is possible to maintain a constant temperature on the cathode for 5000 hrs with Po/sup 210/ as a heat source. (For preceding period see MND-R-1955.)
