I think that's covered. See how the reactor is partly separate from the car? I think you could pull a lever in the cab, and the reactor would drop on the road. And you coast to safety!
(Everything about the Nucleon is a joke btw)
Micro-nuclear itself is not just a joke. Cars or even trains, should not have reactors. Big ships maybe.
Yeah, at the time people like Edward Teller pointed that out. If you want a nuclear power car or train just make it electric and charge it using a nuclear power electric grid. Way more sensible than tiny reactors on each car.
As much as I adore nuclear it makes no sense to put the reactor on a car over an electric battery.
It has use for ships though. Nuclear powered ships are a proven technology.
