I don't know, I'd been led to believe that NASA couldn't take nuclear material into space, as the dangers are too extreme.

I do know however, that it could quite easily last that long on it's power cells, it wouldn't be sending constand info back, just the occasional radio signal. Although I was also led to believe that they'd lost contact with Voyager a long time ago. There was more then one though, so I could be wrong.
