Kilopower- NASA uranium-235 stirling engine.

Just found out about this. Sounds interesting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilopower

The prototype Kilopower uses a solid, cast uranium-235 reactor core, about the size of a paper towel roll. Reactor heat is transferred via passive sodium heat pipes, with the heat being converted to electricity by Stirling engines.
