Nuclear-Integrated Batteries for Eternal Power

Word Count: 198
NASA’s 2024 breakthrough merges radioisotopes with electrochemistry:

  • Americium-241 betavoltaic layers continuously recharge Li-S cells

  • 90-year operational lifespan without grid connection

  • Radiation-to-electricity conversion at 8.2% efficiency (2× previous)

Deployed in Arctic monitoring stations:
✅ Zero maintenance at -60°C
✅ 5 kW continuous output (1.2 tons CO₂ saved daily vs diesel)
✅ Ultra-safety: Quadruple radiation containment

"This solves off-grid energy forever" – Dr. Elena Rodriguez, JPL Energy Lead.
