The procedure for fueling a thermionic generator with Cm/sup 242/ heat source was evaluated. Aspects stressed in development of generator 2B include generator ability to withstand statement of work specified dynamic loads, interelectrode spacing reduction, collector work function reduction, and heat loss reduction. A collector work function of 2.0 volts was achieved at 900 deg K in an activation test unit built to observe heat transfer between heater and emitter. Fuel technology development was centered around Cm/sup 242/ and Pu/sup 238/ >s. (J.R.D.
