First you have to better define working. If "working" means having nuclear material that can actually do something then you don't. If you try you'll probably at best end up in jail and at worst giving yourself radiation poisoning. However if what we define as working gets some play room then there are a few designs out there that work. Most involve some way to boil water (preferably electrical, like a cheap espresso machine as they have safeties) and then turning a turbine to make electricity. You just have the boiler hidden inside a containment structure like a real reactor and print off a picture on what a core should look like.

I'm currently looking into this for outreach programs and will post my findings.
