    Abstract: A thermionic converter for converting heat energy directly into electrical energy, the heat being derived from the use in the device of nuclear fuel. In the device the emitter is so disposed as to extend into the mass of nuclear fuel, and has a chamber formed therewithin in which there is disposed the collector electrode element, but spaced from the emitter so as to form a sealed interspace chamber which is filled with a gaseous vapor such as caesium vapor. Electric terminals are provided for carrying outwardly to an electric line the electrical energy from the coupled emitter and collector, and coolant means are provided for conducting coolant fluid into the interior of the collector.
