The Separation of 241Am from Aged Plutonium Dioxide for use in Radioisotope Power Systems

Electrical power sources used in outer planet missions are a key enabling technology for data acquisition and communications. State–of-the-art power sources generate electricity from alpha decay of 238Pu via thermoelectric conversion. However, production of 238Pu requires specialist facilities inclu...
