Patent attributes
Methods of manufacture for nuclear batteries are provided. The method comprises inserting a radiation source material into a cavity defined within a first component to form a radiation source layer. The first component comprises a first electrical insulator layer defining the cavity and a first casing layer disposed over the first electrical insulator layer. The method comprises contacting the first casing layer with a second casing layer of a second component to form an assembly. The second component comprises a second electrical insulator layer and the second casing layer disposed in contact with the second electrical insulator layer. The method comprises swaging the assembly to form the nuclear battery.
