The Italian firm SORIN has undertaken a program for the development of a radioisotope battery, fueled with/sup 238/ Pu which could be used for powering a cardiac pacemaker with a lifetime of about ten years. The design criteria for the battery, based on thermoelectric conversion, are described. The results obtained on the way to develop a model of battery using thermoelectric material in the shape of thin film are also reported. (auth)
