Your links are out of date. The US has since resumed Pu 238 production for use in space-borne RTGs: http://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/21647585-america-resumes-production-plutonium-238-keep-space-within-reach-nasas-dark http://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/2164758... Even if we hadn't resumed production, I'd still be arguing that the simple fix is to resume production and continue using the proven technology, not to simply give up on it.
