tcry which can deliver verv hieh cur rents at usually low voltages, most commonly 6 and 12 v. The nuclear battery measures voltage in the thou sands and current in micromicroamps. Its applications are such as the charg ing of dosimeters, the devices that measure radiation exposure, calibra tion of electrometers and hieh-meg resistors and condensers, testing of insulation, and similar specialized electrical and electronic uses where small currents are required.
It has long been theorized that radioactive energy offered a potential source of electrical energy. Utilizing radioactive energy in a battery, for example, should theoretically give operating life equal to that of the half-life of whatever source of radia tion was used. Conceivably then it would be possible to construct a stor age battery that would never need recharsing and would function for as
long as. say, 1100 vears, the halflife of radium.
Appreciating the intriguing chal lenge to develop such a battery as well as being aware of its more prac tical aspects, the Radiation Research Corporation under the sponsorship of the Power Sources Branch of the Sig nal Corps Engineering Laboratories succeeded in producing what they term a "nuclear batterv." Using beta radiation furnished bv radioisotope strontium 90. they were able to make a batterv which would supply current up to 1000 micromicroamps with volt ages in the order of several thousand for a half-life period of 25 vears.
Besides the advantage of long serv ice life, the construction of a nuclear battery is uncomplicated by liquid electrolytes and its power is packed in a small unit. Batteries constructed to date average no more than 1 cu. in. in size; about 1 in. in diameter and
1 in. high. The typical nuclear bat tery consists of a radioactive source whose emitted beta electrons are col lected by an aluminum cup as elec!ric current alter passing through a polystyrene insulator. Others are in vestigating the use of gamma radia tion as a power source in which case lead would similarly he required.
About 5 oz. of lead shielding are used around the aluminum collector to reduce the external radiation be low tolerance rate. Lead was natural ly selected for this purpose because it is commonly available, it has the highest density of all common mate rials. and perhaps more significant, lead itself does not become radio active after exposure to virtually anv amount of radiation. Here the obvious advantage is that no hazard due to external radiation would ever be ex perienced w ith a nuclear batterv -- even after vears of service.
