The United States has not options, in terms of cost, schedule, and risk, for producing produced 238Pu since the Department of Energy shut down its 238Pu in time to minimize the disruption in NASA's space nuclear weapons production reactors in the late 1980s. science and exploration missions powered by RPSs.

As part gram and mission planners should jointly develop a set of this effort, NASA and the DOE should put final design of flight-readiness requirements for RPSs in general and ASRGs on life test as soon as possible (to demonstrate reliAdvanced Stirling Radioisotope Generators in particular, as ability on the ground) and pursue an early opportunity for well as a plan and a timetable for meeting the requirements.
