Technical aspects of the thermionic fuel element (TFE) design proposed for the S‐PRIME space nuclear power system are discussed. Topics covered include the rational for selecting a multicell TFE approach, a technical description of the S‐PRIME TFE and its estimated performance, and the technology readiness of the design, which emphasizes techology maturity and low risk.
