Well much a do about nothing ???
 I believe the US space agency already launched over 25 missions using RTGs and nothing ‘major’ went wrong … Remember that RTGs are ruggedized = designed to withstand both impact on land/water and other forms of damage and destruction. Moreover the ‘radio-active’ fuel cell is well encased in some ceramic-shell. Best of all, RTGs cannot explode because there’s no fusion nor fission process.
