Compared to a competing thermoelectric generator isotope such as 238 Pu, 244 Cm emits 500 times more neutrons, and its higher gamma emission requires a shield that is 20 times thicker—2 inches (51 mm) of lead for a 1 kW source, compared to 0.1 inches (2.5 mm) for 238 Pu. Therefore, this use of curium is currently considered impractical.
