U-Battery
The design for U-Battery was created at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and Manchester University in the United Kingdom basing it on high temperature reactor (HTR) technology which was already available in Europe. A consortium was formed to develop the product, participants including consortium that includes Urenco, Kinectrics and Jacobs Solutions. Finance has been supported by grants from the UK government''s Advanced Modular Reactor F…

Atomic battery
OverviewThermal conversionNon-thermal conversionPacemakersRadioisotopes usedMicro-batteriesSee alsoExternal links
An atomic battery, nuclear battery, radioisotope battery or radioisotope generator uses energy from the decay of a radioactive isotope to generate electricity. Like a nuclear reactor, it generates electricity from nuclear energy, but it differs by not using a chain reaction. Although commonly called batteries, atomic batteries are technically not electrochemical and cannot be charged or recharged. Although they are very costly, they have extremely long lives and high energy density, …
