UO2‐fueled W emitters were examined that had been irradiated to goal burnups of approximately 4 at.% at emitter surface temperatures to 1820 K in a fast reactor to establish their performance for use in thermionic reactors with power levels from tens of kilowatts to multimegawatts. The examinations provided first‐time data on structural integrity, dimensional stability, component compatibility, and fuel and fission product behavior. The data are consistent with similar measurements at approximately 2 at.% burnup with the exception of one emitter which breached the W during irradiation.
