I noticed in your Bio for your Westy you're selling, you did not mention any head corrosion. I wonder if you broke out your slide-rule and put in small reactor (fission of course) for the old gal. If so, can you publish plans? If not, would you consider taking a few minutes and working up a design? My 82 Diesel Westy could benefit from 1500 Shaft Horsepower from say a 3000 KW mini-reactor. Only thing..... I know the rig would pass smog: Zero emissions, short of a reactor leak. However... I am familiar with cleaning up oil spots, coolant etc.; would cat litter sufficiently absorb any leaking U-235/U-238 or other misc. and sundry fission by-products? Hey, I would call mine: "VanEinsteinAgon" or maybe just name her "Oppenhiemers Opus". -- ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> Shalom Mark B.
