GPHSs are designed with safety in mind and employ Plutonium-238 pellets encased in iridium

Sounds real safe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.210.238.74 (talk) 01:50, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They're radioactive heat sources, no shit. Considering that, the design is quite safe. 141.83.115.10 (talk) 13:14, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?

It would appear that there is a great deal of overlap in the articles General Purpose Heat Source and GPHS-RTG, the former discussing the general concept and the later and example of its use. It would seem natural to me for these to be discussed together, especially given lack of information on either. ChiZeroOne (talk) 16:23, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose this, because the GPHS, as the name imply, is used not only in the GPHS-RTG, but also in the Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator and the Advanced Stirling Radioisotope Generator. Bomazi (talk) 19:41, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
