If I am going to make the claim that the Weak Nuclear force is just electricity and magnetism, I need to show how a radioactive substance can replace a electric power plant in running equipment such as a heater, a refrigerator or a air conditioner.

Now some of our spaceships were powered by radioactive plutonium. But I need to see how that alpha particles can generate electricity. I see that there is a Radioisotope thermoelectric generator.

Now how to harness beta emitters.
