Part B
Atomic Battery
An atomic battery, nuclear battery, radioisotope battery
or radioisotope generator is a device which uses energy
from the decay of a radioactive isotope to generate
electricity. Like nuclear reactors, they generate electricity
from nuclear energy, but differ in that they do not use a
chain reaction. Although commonly called batteries, they
are technically not electrochemical and cannot be charged
or recharged. In comparison they are very costly, but have
an extremely long life and high energy density, and so they
are mainly 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.

History of Atomic Battery

Nuclear battery technology began in 1913, when Henry
Moseley first demonstrated a current generated by charged
particle radiation. The field received considerable in-depth
research attention for applications requiring long-life
power sources for space needs during the 1950s and 1960s.
In 1954 RCA researched a small atomic battery for small
radio receivers and hearing aids.Since RCA's initial
research and development in the early 1950s, many types
and methods have been designed to extract electrical
energy from nuclear sources. The scientific principles are
well known, but modern nano-scale technology and new
wide-bandgap semiconductors have created new devices

and interesting material properties not previously

available.

Classification of Atomic Energy

Nuclear batteries can be classified by energy conversion
technology into two main groups: thermal converters and
non-thermal converters. The thermal types convert some of
the heat generated by the nuclear decay into electricity. The
most notable example is the radioisotope thermoelectric
generator (RTG), often used in spacecraft. The non-
thermal converters extract energy directly from the emitted
radiation, before it is degraded into heat. They are easier to
minutarize and do not require a thermal gradient to operate,
so they are suitable for use in small-scale applications. The
most notable example is the betavoltaic cell.

Micro project AAE

Atomic batteries usually have an efficiency of 0.1–5%.

High-efficiency betavoltaic devices can reach 6–8%
efficiency.

Thermionic conversion
A thermionic converter consists of a hot electrode, which
thermionically emits electrons over a space-charge barrier
to a cooler electrode, producing a useful power output.
Caesium vapor is used to optimize the electrode work
functions and provide an ion supply (by surface ionization)
to neutralize the electron space charge.
Non-thermal conversion
Non-thermal converters extract energy from emitted
radiation before it is degraded into heat. Unlike

9
Micro project AAE

thermoelectric and thermionic converters their output does

not depend on the temperature difference. Non-thermal
generators can be classified by the type of particle used and
by the mechanism by which their energy is converted.
Electrostatic conversion
Energy can be extracted from emitted charged particles
when their charge builds up in a conductor, thus creating
an electrostatic potential. Without a dissipation mode the
voltage can increase up to the energy of the radiated
particles, which may range from several kilovolts (for beta
radiation) up to megavolts (alpha radiation). The built up
electrostatic energy can be turned into usable electricity in
one of the following ways

Medtronic and Alcatel developed a plutonium-powered

pacemaker, the Numec NU-5, powered by a 2.5 Ci slug of
plutonium 238, first implanted in a human patient in 1970.
The 139 Numec NU-5 nuclear pacemakers implanted in the
1970s are expected to never need replacing, an advantage
over non-nuclear pacemakers, which require surgical
replacement of their batteries every 5 to 10 years. The
plutonium "batteries" are expected to produce enough
power to drive the circuit for longer than the 88 year
halflife of the plutonium.

Atomic battery use in automobile industry

Compared to other batteries, they are very costly, but
have an extremely long life and high energy density, and
so they are mainly 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.

What is the problem with Atomic Battery

Atomic battery want long working machine . Therefore we
not use atomic battery in car . So world wide many
company works on it . They work on transfer this unusable
energy transfer to other place . Alos very maximum chance
of blast in battery. But Next 2 to 3 year we can see atomic
battery car But this battery used in manufacturing plant .

Advantages of Atomic Battery for India

12
Micro project AAE

India is very big consumer of petrol and electrical energy .

Therefore India depends on Iran and other petroleum
contrary , Also we depend on Chinna for electric battery .
So we need to use of Atomic Battery in our Automobile
industry and other manufacturing sector . We have big
resources of nuclear energy and also we make contract with
other country for nuclear resources . This is very very
important for our economy
