Needs More About Radiators

since there is no atmosphere or water to remove the heat generated, radiators make up a much larger fraction of a space nuclear power system than a terrestrial one. there should be more written here about radiator technologies and their commonalities and differences among different power systems.

wondering why the MSL MMRTG radiator fins are white, i came across this interesting set of answers:
