I know we use radioactive elements in nuclear reactors and the heat given of to generate electricity in the traditional steam driven turbine way, at least that's what I read. I was wondering why we can't make it more efficient through double electron capture and use captured electrons given off in the form of radiation to be the electricity in itself. I know it is obviously not easy or perhaps near impossible, otherwise it would have been done. But I was wondering why it can't?
