Nuclear power?

Plants' ability to generate energy has been optimized by evolution, so a spinach plant is extremely efficient, churning out a lot of energy relative to its size and weight.

From http://physlink.com/: As a side note, you may be interested to know many foods have naturally occuring radioactive isotopes present in them already. For example bananas and spinach have potassium 40.

Wow! Now we can have all those nuclear-powered gadgets the people in the 1950's thought we'd have!
Just one question: How long before someone figures out how to make it explode?
