SNAP-7B ISOTOPIC POWER SUPPLY.

Abstract

The U. S. Atomic Energy Commission has developed an isotopic power supply, the SNAP-7B, for use in a secondary shore light station. One SNAP-7B system has been evaluated for approximately two and one-half years since its delivery by the contractor. The SNAP-7B system provided a reliable and stable power supply delivering a nominal 30 watts during the test period. Its total power output after four years of its ten year useful life is slightly higher than the predicted output at this age. (Author)
