20 kV 50 Hz AC power. The generator's stator was cooled by water while its rotor was cooled by hydrogen. The hydrogen for the generators was manufactured

low-voltage DC supply. Marx generators are used in high-energy physics experiments, as well as to simulate the effects of lightning on power-line gear and aviation

as much electric power from the plutonium fuel as compared to a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG). The Stirling generators were extensively

Neutron generators are neutron source devices which contain compact linear particle accelerators and that produce neutrons by fusing isotopes of hydrogen

strontium-90, which has a half-life of 28.79 years. The service life of these generators is initially 10 years, and can be extended for another 5 to 10 years.

Most U.S. PWR plants have had steam generators replaced. The nuclear powered steam generator started as a power plant for the first nuclear submarine

Several alternative production routes for this isotope have been investigated, namely those that reduce isotopic separation from 237 Np or the isomer 236m

emits alpha particles. Pure 238Pu for radioisotope thermoelectric generators that power some spacecraft is produced by neutron capture on neptunium-237
