I was thinking about this the other day, wouldn't it be possible to take Atlantis to another Icarus-type planet and integrate the city with the planets core for more power? The Lanteans did something of that nature with the drilling platform that the Atlantis Expedition discovered. So it seems possible that they could touchdown on an Icarus-type planet, spend a little time setting up a secondary power system that flows directly from the planets core to the gate, letting the ZPM's power the rest of the city.
Also, isn't it true that the core went critical from the combined trauma of dialing Destiny AND the attack from the Lucian Alliance? There's no guarantee that another attack would happen, so it may be safe to use Atlantis in that manner. Even if it did happen again, Atlantis could disconnect the wormhole and take off into hyperspace before it was too late (though some serious calculations would probably need to be done by just about every whiz the SGC has in order to know when the right time to leave would be).
