Abstract:
A radiation-to-generator (RTG) system includes an externally shielded cylindrical betavoltaic battery having sidewalls extending between an upper surface and a bottom surface. An external power electronic system is connected to the betavoltaic battery to receive power. The betavoltaic battery is configured to convert energy produced from radioisotope beta-decay to electricity that is configured to power the external power electronic system.
