Well shit

I’ve got no idea what dis is about

Soviets used them in light houses placed in the artic circle

But it’s interesting

Oh fuck

Hm?

My understanding was all jacked up

@Red Pulsating Rod Play nice

It's christmas

The thermal output would remain fairly steady most of that time since it’s always decaying at the same rate

its like half-half-half-half-half or summit, its weird and random

Hey guys

I pulled

Pulled what?

Though the more inert material it accumulated over time would certainly leech thermal power from the rest of the system

Or am I wrong there as well

Here's a SNAP RTG on the moon

not sure tbh

i imagine it would depend on the construction.

cause like when you put summit in space, the heat got fuck all place to go 🤷

cause like nigga, no atmosphere

I mean it’s just a solid block of plutonium

can only lose it through infra-red radiation

What’s element 235, I don’t have a table handy

Here's a Soviet one just *sitting around*

@Data Pagan um

uranium...

Erm

Let me rephrase

Fuck

particularly fissile uranium

Ok so how many protons are in Pu239

It loses 2 protons and two neutrons in alpha decay

No no no

Isn’t Pu239 fissile?

no

well

kinda

94

@Hammond_of_Texas can you drop it off at my place

hey uh quick interruption to all the big brain talk, the UK wouldn't happen to have any restrictions on porn would it?
