What is an example of a nuclear-powered household appliance?

I have to draw it and I want it to be different from any ordinary project. Any suggestions or ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!





Some examples are: nuclear-powered microwave, refrigerator, toaster.





Yet, other ideas would be better. And also, how would you include the nuclear reactor in your project? Like how would you draw it along with the household appliance?|||You should look into items like pacemakers and satellites that are powered by radioactive decay. You couldn't draw an appliance powered by a nuclear fission or fusion reactor because current technology is so far away from being able to provide that, that there would be no way to draw it other than pure fantasy.





Of course, in a way, all our electric appliances are nuclear powerable because the nuclear reactor power stations operating today make electricity and send it down the grid to power our homes.





This article may be a little complex, but it has some neat pictures and shows how a nuclear powered small device can look and work.

Instead of making electricity, it might be much simpler to make heat. How about a nuclear powered hot water heater? Real simple.
