Gegenüber "herkömmlichen" Pu-238-RTGs wird es mit Am 241 ~ 5x schwerer, meinte man beim INL 2017.
".. GPHS-RTG from 60 lbs to 300
lbs and for MMRTG from 28 lbs to 140 lb .."Quelle: https://inldigitallibrary.inl.gov/sites/sti/sti/Sort_877.pdf
Da jedenfalls ist nix 80% besser.

My gamma spectrometer arrived yesterday. Unsurprisingly but thrilling, the smoke detector has Americium-241, which falls off to background levels (160 CPM) a half a meter away. Nothing else has shown gamma activity. I have some small element samples on order that should be interesting. I am curious whether it's worth it looking for thrift shop finds (uranium ceramics, radium watches) or if they are all routinely screened these days. #science #radioactivity #gamma #americium #uranium #RadiaCode

"The press have repeated a statement initially peddled by #TEPCO, that this contaminated water only includes #tritium. This is untrue, and tritium is not without its own risks. The water being discussed has been through the various filtration systems on site used to remove #radioactive #isotopes. Each system removes some of the radioactive elements in the water. ALPS is the last of these systems. It can remove much of the remaining contamination but not all of it, some radioactive contamination remains in this water.
"We [SimplyInfo] documented back in 2018 that this water contains other problematic radioactive elements including:
#Plutonium (238, 239, 240)
#Americium
#iodine129
#Technetium99
#Cobalt60
#Curium244
#Niobium94
#Europium (152, 154)
#Cesium137
#Strontium90
#Selenium79
#Nickel63
#Tin126 (aka: Sn-126)"As of 2018 the stored post #ALPS water contained 200 billion becquerels of iodine 129, #ruthenium106, and technetium 99. As stored water increases, so does the total volume of contamination within that water.
"TEPCO and the Japanese government have tried to ease concerns by claiming the water will be diluted before it is dumped into the Pacific ocean. This is a meaningless step. The total amount of radioactive #contamination is still dumped into the ocean, you just dumped some additional water beside it at the same time."

🔋#Nature 📆 06 December 2022 #ESA is developing a #battery for #space missions that is powered by #nuclear waste. #Americium has a longer half-life than plutonium-238, which means it lasts #longer but packs less #power per gram. But because americium is more readily available, producing one watt of power #costs about one-fifth as much as it does using #plutonium. Tests will include monitoring the behaviour of components at high temperatures and under #impact — for example, during an #explosion 💥 on the #launchpad — to ensure that #radioactive ☢️ material would not leak https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04247-6
