Stupid title, but interesting article. They try to use radioactive Carbon-14 to make diamonds to produce heat in a RTG power source.

Obviously it doesn't have near infinite power. The amount of power will be very small, but it may be useful for some applications. Also, the half-life of C14 is 5750 years, so after a few milenia it will need a replacement.
