What is a Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator?

Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG, RITEG) is a generator that uses radioactive decay to obtain energy. This device uses a thermocouple array (with the Seebeck effect applied) to receive the heat emitted by some suitable radioactive material when it decays and converts it into electricity.
