Comment on A tiny radioactive battery could keep your future phone running for 50 years
pelya@lemmy.world 10 months agoAt 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.
