Abstract
A nuclear battery based on the direct energy conversion of the fission products is presented. Such energy conversion is possible by using a nuclear reactor with ultra-thin fuel elements of 0.2 μm of 242mAm. The amount of nuclear fuel is 376 g and the dimensions of the battery are 2.4×2.4×2.4 m3 (including the vacuum spacing), with a BeO moderator and Be electrodes. The total power of the reactor is 10.6 MW and the electrical power is 0.652 MW.
