PB-NUK Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator
From Kerbal Space Program Wiki
The RTG provides constant and reliable electricity for spacecraft. Its weight/power ratio is a lot worse than that of solar panels (unless you are very far away from the sun), but RNGs have the advantage that they do not require direct sunlight, so they still work when on the night side of a planet.
