What is the construction and working of a radioisotope thermoelectric generator?

A radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) consists of a radioactive material (e.g. plutonium-238) that decays, releasing heat. This heat is then converted into electricity through the Seebeck effect in thermocouples within the RTG. The electricity generated can power missions in space where solar power is not feasible.

What material used to power the seismic equipment left on the lunar surface by the Apollo missions?

The seismic packages were part of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Packages, or ALSEPs. The ALSEPs consisted of a central command box with various experiment arrays extending from that central unit, of which the Passive Lunar Seismic Experiment was one. The ALSEPs were powered by an RTG, or Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator. RTGs derive their power from the heat created by the decay of plutonium-238. By using thermocouples, the ALSEP RTG's heat is transformed into 70 watts of power. RTGs are still used today (the Mars rover Curiosity uses an RTG for power).
