Summary
[edit]DescriptionClad vent set (50116543403).jpg | Within the radioisotope thermoelectric generator, iridium alloy clad vent sets — virtually indestructible metal cups — encapsulate Pu-238. Iridium, among the platinum-group metals on the periodic table, is extremely durable and can withstand temperatures with a melting point of more than 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Since the 1970s, Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists have custom designed the alloy cladding for space travel to ensure the fuel within would remain contained even during anomalous events.
