This seems to make claims of a shortage of plutonium for deep-space RTG power systems into lies. It seems like there is plenty of Pu for all the deep space missions we could otherwise afford.
- philipkglass 4y agoThe plutonium for deep space missions powered by RTG systems is plutonium 238. The plutonium from surplus weapons is plutonium 239. They are made in different ways and they are not interchangeable.
