    First get a band-aid. Make sure it has a large sterile pad area.

    Remove the backing from the adhesive and set it aside. Next, buy a fuel cell from the online fuel cell store. Then, carefully attach the fuel cell to the adhesive part of the band-aid.

    Finally, wave your wand while saying "A-la peanut butter sandwiches", and hey presto! it is done!

    Hah! That's what I was thinking when I read that. Build your own nuclear reactor using a band-aid. Strap band-aid to functioning nuclear reactor procured from post-Cold War Russia. Voila, Band-Aid Nuclear Fission Reaction System.
