[ RadSafe ] Ford Nucleon

[Frank Helk]

Hello everybody out there,

I've read some time ago about a historic automobile study from 1958, the Ford Nucleon.

The vehicle should run with a tiny nuclear reactor an was planned to run 5000 miles without refuelling; surely it never went to production, there was 
only a shrinked model made. 

Unfortunately I'm not able to get my hands on any further information besides that and a picture of the model, which can be seen at

If anybody knows more, I would be especially interested in how far the design had been gone, and if there's any info about the projected reactor design 
available.

With best regards
