The é’š-238 is the preferred fuel for deep-space-detector nuclear power plants. At present, NASA é’š-238 is already very scarce and the supply is running out. The US Department of Energy has already begun to solve this problem.é’š-238 production has been restored.
However, in the past 30 years, thorium-238 has hardly been produced. Recently, the US Department of Energy announced that it has begun production of thorium-238 in the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which has produced 50 grams. The plant has resumed the production of Plutonium-238 since its shutdown in the 1980s. This is not a weapon-grade nuclear fuel and can be used in deep-space ships.
The radioactive decay of Strontium-238 is the nuclear battery fuel for deep space probes. For example, Pirates detectors, Traveler detectors, and Curiosity Rover have all used é’š-238 nuclear batteries. NASA scientists believe that we resume production of é’š-238 It is a new beginning and can provide enough nuclear batteries for solar system deep space missions.
Currently, NASA only has less than 35 kilograms of plutonium-238, which can be maintained until the mid-1920s. If the supply is not timely, deep-space missions will not use nuclear batteries. It is expected that in the next two to three years, é’š-238 will begin mass production to meet the needs of future deep space missions.
Scientists believe that we are expanding the exploration of the deep space of the solar system. The Department of Energy’s decision allows us to fly enough fuel to the far edge of the solar system. Two years ago, NASA began to work hard to restore the survival of Plutonium-238. The U.S. Department of Energy has announced the production of Plutonium-238. Oak Ridge National Laboratory press conference pointed out that once we have automated, there will be more production of radioactive isotopes, and we have a lot of work to accomplish before we fully put into production.
