Whats an innovative idea for a nuclear telescope?

In summary, a nuclear telescope is a specialized type of telescope that uses nuclear interactions to detect and study cosmic rays and high-energy particles. It differs from other telescopes in its ability to detect and study these particles, and has potential applications in various fields such as astrophysics and space exploration. However, it also faces challenges and limitations such as background radiation interference, cost, and limited observational capabilities.

I was thinking there might be some clever but not well known ideas for nuclear technology being applied to an orbital telescope. Perhaps a different type of material would make an excellent sensor etc. Any ideas?
