Ah, you mean to get around being at the center of the bLast? Possibly doable, but modern nuclear reactors don't have internal detonations - they accelerate radioactive decay and use the radiation to heat water in order to drive a steam engine, which is hooked up to an electric generator.

Of course, having the power generation in a building (a fixed location) would be a decidedly limiting factor on how much territory a mage relying on it could control, wouldn't it? Also, it would be a pretty major undertaking, as the physical building needs to be constructed, enchanted to absorb the useable energy, and enchanted to withstand the unuseable energy - likely without a major power source during construction. It would probably end up being a guild installation, not under the control of any one mage.

Interesting thought.
