Afaik there are mini nukes that exist and run contained in a 8'x8'x8' sized building possibly even one here in reno at the university in the lightening lab. Couple in Stockton at Lawrence Livermore. Couple more in (gasp!) oregon at some university nuke test site but they are generally only in the kilowatt output.
Apparently not a lot of radioactivity or waste or even public concern until the anti nukers catch on.
Back in the day, my friend Rosemary from Livermore talked about developing suitcase sized ones but couldn't deal with the heat buildup for the radiator size.
There are micro nukes on pretty much all interplanetary spacecraft
