They've got a fission and experimental fusion reactor. Both are research vessels (the fission reactor doesn't produce electricity) but I believe only the fissile fuel is considered as nuclear material. Typical fusion reactor designs use radioactively benign hydrogen isotopes and even in operation emit relatively low level of radiation.
