Depends what you want it to do for you. If you want to use it as a weapon, then

you don't collect it; you just let it spread around far and wide and cause as much

death and destruction as possible. If, on the other hand, you want to use it to

generate electricity, you wrap the nuclear reactor in layers of pipes that carry

water past it, and you let the nuclear energy heat the water. Then you use the

steam or superheated water to run a steam-turbine generator, just as if it had

been heated by a coal or oil fire, or by sunshine.
