I don't think that you're find many (read any) mines or other remote facilities in Alaska powered by nuclear reactors. A while back (decades ago) the US military had used so called "Atomic Batteries" to power some remote electronic equipment like radio repeaters.. I suppose technically, they were "reactors", but they were relatively small devices. If any of those remain, they are relatively rare. But a shipping container sized nuclear reactor able to power a remote mine? I think that you have been misled.
