Rising from the depths of the past...
Breathing new life into a seriously comatose thread, I recently read a new blurb about a nuclear reactor at Penn State University Park that was created in the mid-50's and is still in operation today (2015). It was upgraded to 1 MW output in 1965 and is used in testing materials in radiation exposure.

While 1 MW isn't a whole bunch, it provides a helluva big improvement over a portable generator.
