I believe they’re referring to the fact that it’s not an element of major topic. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of it.
I think this could be compelling given that tech continues to get more power efficient. I don’t know the numbers, but if we were to launch the same tech that’s on Voyager 1/2 today, would we be able to do that with 1/5 the power? If so, those probes could likely still have all their instruments running if they used Americium.
