Would there be a problem with disposal of these if they were widely used? The quote they give says.
> Atomic energy batteries are environmentally friendly. After the decay period, the 63 isotopes turn into a stable isotope of copper, which is non-radioactive and does not pose any threat or pollution to the environment.
But if someone throws one away after just one year, and then it gets ground up as scrap, would that cause a problem?
