Abstract
A radioisotope generator system may comprise a common platform convertor having two ends, and multiple heat source modules thermally coupled to each other and to the common platform convertor. A portion of the multiple heat source modules may be thermally coupled to each end of the common platform convertor. The common platform convertor may be optimized for a nominal power level.
