A chargeable atomic battery (CAB), such as a fully ceramic encapsulated radioactive heat source, includes a plurality of CAB units and a CAB housing to hold the plurality of CAB units. Each of the CAB units are formed of a precursor compact including precursor material particles embedded inside an encapsulation material. The precursor material particles include a precursor kernel formed of a precursor material that is initially manufactured in a stable state or an unstable state and convertible into an activated material that is an activated state via irradiation by a particle radiation source. The precursor material particles can include one or more encapsulation coatings surrounding the precursor kernel. The precursor material can include Neptunium-237 and the activated material can include Plutonium-238. A radioisotope thermoelectric generator can include thermoelectrics coupled to the CAB units to convert radioactive emissions of the activated material into electrical power.

摘要:
A method of reducing radiation emitted from a radioactive source material involves mixing the radioactive material with mica. Uranium ore is a radioactive source material which when mixed with mica significantly reduces the amount of radiation emitted. The radioactive source material and the mica may be ground to similar sized small pieces and mixed at a one to one ratio. The radioactive source material and the mica may be consistently mixed together. In the alternative the mica may be placed around the outside of the radioactive source material. The mica may contain manganese.
