Just read a blurb about the Gov in the UK wanting to explore  Nuke powered
commercial aircraft.

I guess these would be little reactors making electricity to turn a prop (
pull or push / both )
I know the list is full of engineers,

How do you shield the passengers from radiation and still take off?
How fast can an electric plane fly, ( is there even an electric plane flying
how aside from a scale model )
What happens when it gets struck by lighting and it shorts out the whole
system
and lastly, planes, crash, what about the nuke fuel splattered about?

Inquiring minds want to know?
