The properties of radioisotope fuel compounds and fuel capsule materials which are pertinent to the design and operation of radioisotope heat sources are outlined. These properties are grouped into the following categories: intrinsic, extrinsic, and compatibility. The properties of strontium titanate as the fuel and Hastelloy C as the capsule material are evaluated. (D.L.C.
