Please tell NASA where they are located, because presently they have
enough only for the RTGS of about one more outer solar system mission.

NASA is planning to go around to the DOE centers collecting what they
can find. Russia is selling NASA some, selling the Indians some, then
the Russians say they have no more (uh huh ;-) ).

Presently, a highly possible result of the end of the Cold War is that
the robotic exploration of the outer solar system exploration might be
ended (or at least slowed down) as well.
