2. Introduction
The water which we use regularly is sent to
us by storing at different storage units.
Since the electricity which is generated in
the power plants cannot be stored.
Because it needs different sizes of batteries
which is still not in existence.
So, to full fill the desire of having the battery
that is capable of storing large amount of
electricity, the nuclear battery was initiated by
Henry Moseley in 1913.

3. Evolution
Henry Moseley first demonstrated the beta
cell in 1913.
The field received considerable in-depth
research attention for applications requiring
long-life power sources for space needs
during the 1950s and 1960s.
In 1954 RCA (Radio Corporation of
America) researched a small atomic battery
for small radio receivers and hearing aids.

4. Many types and methods have been
designed to extract electrical energy from
nuclear sources. The scientific principles
are well known.
But modern nano-scale technology and
new wide band gap semiconductors have
created new devices and interesting
material properties not previously
available.

6. Different types of NUCLEAR
BATTERIES

7. Conversion techniques
Batteries using the energy
of radioisotope decay to provide long-lived
power (10–20 years) are being developed
internationally. Conversion techniques can be
grouped into two types. They are;
Thermal: whose output power is a function of a
temperature differential.
Non-thermal: whose output power is not a
function of a temperature difference.

8. Thermal converters
Thermionic converter
Radioisotope thermoelectric generator
Thermo photovoltaic cells
Alkali-metal thermal to electric
converter
Stirling radioisotope generator

9. Non-thermal Converters
Direct charging generators
Betavoltaics
Alphavoltaics
Optoelectric
Reciprocating Electromechanical
Atomic Batteries

10. Applications
They have extremely long life and high energy density, and
so they are mainly used as power sources for equipment
that must operate unattended for long
periods of time, such as
• Spacecraft
• Pacemakers
• underwater systems
• automated scientific stations in remote parts of the world

11. Advantages
Life span- minimum of decades.
Reliable electricity.
Amount of energy obtained is very high.
Lighter with high energy density.
Less waste generation.
Reduces green house and associated
effects.
Fuel used is the nuclear waste from nuclear
fission.

12. Disadvantages
• High initial cost of production as its in the
experimental stage.
• Energy conversion methodologies are not
much advanced.
• Regional and country-specific laws
regarding use and disposal of radioactive
fuels.
• To gain social acceptance.

13. Daily use
By this time most of you maybe getting an idea
of getting this battery on to your mobile phones,
so that you can chat and talk with your friends
continuously for 10-20 years.
Or you might be thinking to put this battery to
your daily life auto-mobiles.

14. But this idea is gonna make yourself banged to something
if you put this battery in your mobile phones.
Because the beta radiations are gonna harm you very
badly. But, the can be minimized by inserting a large lead
piece with the battery.
But, there is a danger too. Because the lead is going to
get you cancer and brain hemarage.

15. Conclusion
So, the lightening growth of technology has
made a better developments in nuclear
battery.
It is implemented in space use, medical use,
and also in military use.
And it is going to come soon to our daily use
by making it eco friendly.
And the only thing we are
capable of doing is just wait
eagerly.
