A device for reclamation of radioactive high level wastes (HLW) for energy consumption comprises a containment shell that comprises a first closing/opening shell lid having an opening to push the radioactive material in one direction and to dispose the radioactive material out of a second closing/opening shell lid. At least one interchangeable buffer plate having a temperature resistant side is in contact with and bolted to the at least one side of the containment shell. A bimetallic band or cable is being curved and having a higher and a lower linear coefficient of thermal expansion. A gear assembly is adapted to be mounted on the support and meshing with the bimetallic band or cable to control the speed of the device. The device has a potential to consume many materials deemed as waste from various stockpiles and/or from power plants as high level radioactive substances to power itself and subsequently create power from sources of energy deemed otherwise unattainable. Also it has the ability to power select devices being used at power plants that would necessitate motor-driven capabilities even in conjunction with a vehicle, for example, turbines, fuel cells, propellers and/or tires

Thermoelectric generators or other heat engines are employed using the thermal gradient that exists between the spent nuclear fuel and the environment surrounding the cask's components housing the nuclear fuel to produce the power.

An activator has a base on which is mounted an elastically deformable micromechanical element that has a section that is free to be displaced toward the base. An absorber of radioactively emitted particles is formed on the base or the displaceable section of the deformable element and a source is formed on the other of the displaceable section or the base facing the absorber across a small gap. The radioactive source emits charged particles such as electrons, resulting in a buildup of charge on the absorber, drawing the absorber and source together and storing mechanical energy as the deformable element is bent. When the force between the absorber and the source is sufficient to bring the absorber into effective electrical contact with the source, discharge of the charge between the source and absorber allows the deformable element to spring back, releasing the mechanical energy stored in the element. An electrical generator such as a piezoelectric transducer may be secured to the deformable element to convert the released mechanical energy to electrical energy that can be used to provide power to electronic circuits.
