Which scenario reduces efficiency in americium-241 thermoelectric generators?

💡 Explanation

Helium-3 build-up from alpha decay creates pressure that can damage the generator; the Alpha Decay Mechanism thus reduces long-term reliability. Therefore, helium removal matters, rather than the other radioactive processes which produce heat but do not impact mechanical components.
