Is that the nuclear detonation idea, or something else entirely?

In 1963, the United States developed the NERVA project.The goal of the NERVA program was to take the graphite-based nuclear reactor built at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) under the Rover program, which had begun in 1956, and create a functioning rocket engine.

Maybe the USA could use nukular for electricity for our new cars.

In 1957, the Ford Motor company actually designed a car named the Ford Nucleon. It had a range of 5000 miles without a recharge.

Of course, there is not any place to find plutonium or discharge the deadly waste

The report for years was that Russia tried this once before and many of their top scientists suddenly went missing after a rather big explosion.

This had to be fun!
This KIWI-B type reactor was deliberately destroyed on January 1965 by subjecting it to a fast excursion (Prompt Criticality). This test was intended to confirm theoretical models of transient behaviour.

They do not have the scientists to pull it off. They rather work for Iran, Syria,North Korea and Pakistan where they are paid very well.

A coal power plant releases 100 times as much radiation as a nuclear power plant of the same wattage.
We have been using technology to mitigate the dangers of Radioactive waste successfully for some time now. It just takes too long, and costs too much.
I don’t doubt that the entire Planet will using Nuclear energy, as we now do fossil fuels, within the next 50-100 years.
It really burns my biscuits that we aren’t leading the way into this age, the Europeans and Japanese are.

That is exactly the way I feel. We should be way ahead in all of this.
