As the universe expands the amount of energy that stars (and our sun) is able to produce keeps dropping. The power from nuclear reactors would keep dropping.
Seems like there would be a point where fusion and fission reactions would no longer be self sustaining, and we would have an intergalactic blackout?

Ken, I thought it said that the bonds between the particles of nuclei: protons and neutrons, were becoming
stronger as time goes on as compared to the
slowing speed of light.
//Edit:
Which would make the nuclear power plants more plentiful and efficient as more energy would be released in the breaking or joining of the particles.
