OK, so we don't have a source of radio active materials. But these generators use a source of heat combined with a a thermo-electrical unit to produce electrical power, and that fact should be enough to plant a bug in some smart list members head to start the thinking on how to solve the heat-source problem and get rid of the radioactive materials. BTW, the RTG's are currently used on space vehicles. in deep space when they are too far away from our sun for solar panels to work. -- John Rodgers Clayartist and Moldmaker 88'GL VW Bus Driver Chelsea, AL Http://www.moldhaus.com
