I remember that Toshiba was/is developping a nuclear electricity generator, a box 2x2 meters (or so), completely sealed, which provides energy in remote location. After about 20 years, the box supposed to be returned for decomission. No maintenance required.
I was seriously interested to buy one to put it under my garden, but:
- the output is constant and difficult to manage, so it would also require to build a swimming pool to direct the extra output there and hope it would not boil, or convince surrounding residents to join the local nuclear club.
- it was more expensive than to be on a grid
- local nuclear agencies would likely raise its concern to have an unsecured nuclear asset in a residental area. Not to mention, that fellow resident were not too exited about a prospect having sort of nuclear power station just down the road.
But army is a different categoy :-)
