Eric; A simple fail safe would prevent that, some platinum stops from IPM. The big problem would be guarding the warehouses to stop terrorists stealing frying pans to make baby nukes.
Did you not invent the nuclear mousetrap? The water in the mouses body made a space between two plates go critical, and poof. Just do not go down to the basement for 25,000 years.

Simple ever lasting light bulbs with a cooking mass surrounded by a water bulb, a nice peaceful blue glow to read by.

I remember the story of an early experimenter demonstrating this effect with a screwdriver adjusting the gap and the geiger clicked. It accidentally slipped into contact and irradiated the room. Killing that experimenter and a few of the others(after 2-3 weeks delay as their changeable cells wore out and were not replaced)

A soviet waste pond went critical and emitted a huge cloud of steam and radioactive dust in the late 50's. Large area made uninhabitable?

The bacon would taste fine, but I would not eat it for religious reasons, but you could eat my share.
