While I agree with most of your statements, the RTGs that NASA uses (assuming that's what you are referring to) don't really have much of a connection at all to Nuclear power plants. They are very useful for small scale projects like rovers but really have no commercial uses for anything near people. Plus I think NASA generally prefers solar power whenever they can use it as it's far cheaper and safer to get into orbit.
