EVALUATION OF A MOLYBDENUM EMITTER, LOW VOLTAGE ARC THERMIONIC POWER CONVERTER. Quarterly Technical Progress Report No. 1

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4756750
Initial work is reported in a program to define and minimize the life- limiting factors affecting the usefulness of low-temperature Cs vapor thermionic converters. The program is basically directed toward life test evaluation of state-of-the-art vapor converters utilizing Mo cathodes. During the report period, design of the life test equipment was completed and fabrication started. Preliminary tests were made on one device. (J.R.D.)
