OSTI ID:4190306
The program objective is to replace the conventional electrical heater filament in an electron tube with a radioisotope heater. The primary problem is to confine and direct the heat from a small heat source to the cathode effect electron emission. Polished reflectors appear as the most feasible method of heat confinement. A temperature control is considered necessary during the half life of the radioisotope. Experiments have proved the feasibility of the program. A demonstration with Po/sup 210/ as the radioactive heat source is planned. (auth)
