  At this moment, 1 gram of radioactive Nickel-63 costs around 4,000 USD. Nickel-63 isotope does not occur in nature, it is obtained by irradiating Nickel-62 inside a nuclear reactor.

    The world needs breeder reactors anyways, build out a lot of gen 4 plants and make Nickle-63 to boot.

  What happens when the casing get punctured? When you mass produce these devices these things will happen.

    Surely the battery itself would have sufficient protection on top of the devices chassis offering protection.

    I can’t say a Lithium Ion battery leaking in the body would bode very either.
