  • Radioactive Batteries
    Radioactive Batteries A Battery That Lasts For minimum of 20 Years (1. Joe Jeyaseelan A, [email protected] 2. Mouleeswaran, [email protected]) Abstract: Nuclear batteries run off of the continuous A. Thermionic Converter radioactive decay of certain elements. These incredibly long- lasting batteries are still in the theoretical and developmental stage of existence, but they promise to provide clean, safe, almost endless energy. They have been designed for personal use as well as for civil engineering, aeronautics, and medical treatments. The almost magical production of electricity in nuclear batteries is made possible by the process of betavoltaics. Through this technology, the electrons that radioactive isotopes regularly lose due to decay can be harnessed and directed into a stream of electricity. A semiconductor, possibly made from silicon, catches the flying electrons and directs them into a steady power source. Even a small amount of radioactive material will provide a charge for a very long time before it expires. Index terms: Radioactivity, RTG, Battery, Betavoltaics, Isotopes. I. INTRODUCTION The terms atomic battery, nuclear battery, tritium battery and radioisotope generator are used to describe a device which uses energy from the decay of a radioactive isotope to generate electricity. Like nuclear reactors they generate electricity from atomic energy, but differ in that they do not use a chain reaction. Compared to other batteries they are very costly, but have extremely long life and high energy density, and so they are mainly used as power sources for equipment that must operate unattended for long periods of time, such as spacecraft, pacemakers, underwater systems and automated scientific stations in remote parts of the world.

  • Atomvåbenproduktion I USA Af Holger Terp, Fredsakademiet Det Atomvåbenindustrielle Kompleks I USA Er Så Vidt Jeg Ved Det
    Atomvåbenproduktion i USA Af Holger Terp, Fredsakademiet Det atomvåbenindustrielle kompleks i USA er så vidt jeg ved det, ikke beskrevet på dansk. Atompolitikken i Danmark har lige siden 1945 beskæftiget sig generelt med atomfy- sik1, og atomvåben - eksempelvis deres udstationering og de forskellige opfattelser af, hvordan denne politik har påvirket vores allesammens sikkerhed.2 Men der er ingen her til lands der har beskrevet de miner, hvor råmaterialerne til ker- nevåbenproduktion var, fabrikkerne der fremstillede atomvåben, styrelserne der traf og stadig træffer beslutningerne herom i dybeste hemmelighed, atomvåbenforsøgene, samt deres menneskelige, miljømæssige og økonomiske omkostninger. 1 Issaacson, Walter: Einstein : Hans liv og univers.

  • Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Radioisotope thermoelectric generator From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG, RITEG) is an electrical generator that uses an array of thermocouples to convert the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material into electricity by the Seebeck effect. An RTG has no moving parts. RTGs have been used as power sources in Diagram of an RTG used on the Cassini probe satellites, space probes, and unmanned remote facilities such as a series of lighthouses built by the former Soviet Union inside the Arctic Circle. RTGs are usually the most desirable power source for unmaintained situations that need a few hundred watts (or less) of power for durations too long for fuel cells, batteries, or generators to provide economically, and in places where solar cells are not practical. Safe use of RTGs requires containment of the radioisotopes long after the productive life of the unit.

Clarke suggested that, with respect to spacecraft, "the operating period might be indefinitely prolonged by the use of thermocouples."[1][2] RTGs were developed in the US during the late 1950s by Mound Laboratories in Miamisburg, Ohio under contract with the United States Atomic Energy Commission.
