DEVELOPMENT OF A SUPER POWER DEUTERIUM THYRATRON.

Abstract

Five prototype tubes were evaluated and an extensive investigation of the fabrication and processing procedures was conducted. All five tubes were new starts built within the reporting period (see AD-426 811). The separate tube fabrications and processings were undertaken as a step-by-step attack on the problems of temperature, metallic deposits, and gassiness observed in previous starts and in the investigation of mock-up structures. Details on the investigations and on the individual tube starts are given. The conclusions and recommendations resulting from these activities are presented. (Author)
