Scientific paper

This paper describes characteristics of the TOPAZ Reactors for space
power applications developed in the USSR. TOPAZ-2 has been shown to be
useful for satellites and for lunar or Martian bases. It can be coupled
with a Stirling engine. TOPAZ-3 reactor provides greater power levels
while TOPAZ-4 has an improved multicell thermionic fuel element. (AIP)
