Small-size Pu238-based radionuclide thermoelectric generator
Description
The interest shown to the radionuclide electric power sources as explained by a number of their features. The main features are described. The evaluation of a number of commercially produced radionuclides shows that at present Pu238 radionuclide and sometimes Am241 radionuclide are widely applicable in small-size RTG according to their characteristics. The authors describe how Pu238 has been widely used in domestic and foreign production of small-size RTGs. Future applications for Pu238 are discussed
