Hmmm, I was just watching over episode 22 again just now, when I actually caught onto something; it seems that Uiharu's power is actaully to keep things she touches at a constant temperature, not to heat them up. (that's how Uiharu explained it) After having read over Random Curiosity's summary on the episode, it seems this is indeed the case. So she isn't actually heating the takiyaki up, but keeping them at a warm temperature, according to her. The Uiharu thread is also working based on this as well.

Which, actually, sounds less impressive. So much for nuclear applications; a) she'd have to come into direct contact with whatever she wants to use her power on, and b) the way she describes her power, she wouldn't be able to make it go nuclear anyway, only keep it at its current temperature. That would be nice for arctic rescue/self survival (although Uiharu also says she can't hold the temperature of anything too hot), but it doesn't quite make for an offensive ability.
