The current fleet of nuclear reactors are based in huge imposing facilities generally located in isolated locations away from population centers. This need not be the case. In the near future ...

And if that wasn't enough to give a nuclear engineer a haunted look, there's the problem of fabricating the fuel for the reactor. You can't use metallic uranium like in conventional fuel rods.
