ESA's nuclear program would likely focus on americium, according to Southwood. [...] Americium-241 has a longer half-life than plutonium-238, meaning it could survive longer in space, but the isotope produces less heat and electricity. Americium is also a greater radiation hazard to humans, according to scientists.
