Nuclear Power in Space
From: HAGAN at Wharton-10 (John Hagan)
As I understood it, the U.S. had signed an international agreement that
forbids nulear energy power plants and weapons in space.  Due to this
contract, NASA had to scrap a plan to use small atomic bombs to propel
a craft to speeds like .1C, and perhaps visit planets and STARS...

Any truth in this?
