Q. In recent times, the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator was in news as its proposed use by__:
Answer: ISRO
Notes: The Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG) generates electricity from the heat of radioactive isotope decay, utilizing the Seebeck Effect, where temperature differences in dissimilar conductors create a voltage. RTGs power space probes, satellites, and remote facilities like Arctic lighthouses. ISRO aims to develop a 100 Watt RTG for space missions and thermal management.
