| Abstract: | The concept for a sealed planetary nuclear power plant, based on a high-temperature version of a thermionic nuclear power system, is examined. A high-temperature radiator makes it possible for the system to operate at a high power level. A sealed chamber gives the optimal matching of the construction with the operating conditions on the surface of the Moon and planets in the solar system, 1 figure. S. P.
