The stability requirements of in-core thermionic reactor concepts are examined analytically, utilizing an approximate two-region description of the fueled diode. General stability requirements for the model are derived and then evaluated for possible ranges of design considerations with regard to operating powerdensity levels, diode dimensions and materials, and fuel materials.
