GMTA. There’s nothing new or untried about such designs - similar compact reactors are in use on subs, for example.

Not quite ready for the nuclear locomotive, though. Anybody ever seen the aftermath of a high-speed train wreck? Add in a ruptured reactor core, and it ain’t pretty.

I do like the buried, single-site solution, though.

waste transport drums are invincible to high speed train wrecks of any kind…I’ve seen vids where they slam a freight train, full blast into those things and they just bounce around
