It's amazing that this actually used (or was supposed to) a real fission reactor.

I've always thought that the possibilities of radioisotope thermoelectric generators were under-utilised. They would be amazingly practical for off-grid living. Surely it must be possible to make a relatively safe one by packing it inside a solid metal case and then burying it in the ground outside your home.

I wonder how far an EV could travel with an RTG in the trunk.
