Does anyone in the list know anything about the regulations for nuclear power?
I know for a fact that most if not all of the satelites in orbit have nuclear
power supplies as well as rechargable batteries.

If you could get only a small amount of atomic material you could do that
differntial heat power technology.
The only draw back is that the power supply might be a little heavy and you
wouldn'd want to get it too hot. Like over 500degrees would be a little too hot.
