“…al. 1968;Brehm, Hetrick, and Schmidt 1969;Guppy, 1970a). With the in-core concept, heat energy from fission is supplied directly to a metallic surface; (emitter) causing electrons to gain enough energy to leave the surface, traverse a cesiated gap, and be collected by a second metallic surface called a collector.…”

“…(1969) 1969) we then use the prompt-jump approximation to the one-delayedgroup point-reactor equations to describe the neutron dynamics. Rather than writing one heat transfer equation for each region as Gronroos (1967) and Guppy (1970a) have done, we assume that the fuel and emitter may be treated as a single region described by the emitter temperature.…”
