Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The obvious attributes of radioisotopes are a large amount of energy stored per unit mass and long life-time. These properties have been the primary motivation in the development of nuclear batteries driven with radioisotopes. The applications have changed over time based on the evolution of technology. In this chapter, successful nuclear battery designs are discussed along with the applications that they were designed for. In addition, the technologies which have evolved over time requiring significant energy storage and long shelf lives are discussed.
