Interesting association to the EM drive. Maybe it would produce reactionless thrust also?
Assuming the EM drive actually works, this would be an ideal application for this kind of nuclear battery. I am assuming this would be a very expensive manufacturing process, but a battery working for 5000+ years and a working EM drive would make for quite a nice space exploration probe. It would make interstellar probes feasible.
