Abstract
We construct non-tachyonic, non-supersymmetric orientifolds of type 0B stri ngs in ten, six and four space-time dimensions. Typically, these models hav e unitary gauge groups with charged massless fermionic and bosonic matter f ields. However, generically there remains an uncancelled dilaton tadpole.
