Abstract :
The military already has an extensive record of developing and using mobile nuclear reactors. They even had a program that considered the feasibility of using nuclear power plants to generate alternate fuels as a means of reducing logistics requirements for coal, oil, and gasoline. However, political, technical, and military considerations forced the closure of the program before a prototype could be built
