Nuclear Powered Batteries
πTopic : Science and Technology
πAlso known as Atomic battery / Radioisotope Generator.
πIt's a device which uses energy from the decay of a radioactive isotope to generate electricity.
πLike nuclear reactors, they generate electricity from nuclear energy, but differ in that they do not use a chain reaction.
π Although commonly called batteries, they are technically not electrochemical and cannot be charged or recharged.
πThey are very costly, but have an extremely long life and have high energy density, and so they are typically 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.
