ABSTRACT The short and unpredictable nature of the conventional chemical batteries‚ along with the frequent replacements that they require‚ has created an acute need for a reliable‚ longer-lasting and rugged source of energy. Moreover Radars‚ spacecrafts‚ interstellar probes and other advanced communication devices require much larger power than that can be met by conventional energy sources. The solution to long term energy source is the nuclear powered batteries which have a life span of few
