Law requires most reactors to have these layers of shielding and containment. Nuclear power plants generally have three layers of shielding in addition to the containment structure which is made of concrete several feet thick and houses the reactor u s. Nuclear power plants and nuclear powered aircraft carriers and subs all employ heavy shielding.
I also mentioned that one of the reason why cars aren t common using metagame thinking of course might be because the cattle barons bribe the ncr government so they don t research. I didn t say that there is only one car in the fallout world i said reasons why nuclear powered cars wouldn t be common enough for people do drive them around. Fallout 3 has every vehicle nuclear powered motorcycle gas tanks are found as scrap but the motorcycles themselves are not seen there are motorcycles but a different type.
An electric car which is charged by microfusion cells. Most of the vehicles in fallout 1 and 2 are ambiguous except for the highwayman. They generally ran on electric engines drawing power from on board batteries or nuclear powered with a small reactor to the rear of the vehicle but vehicles running on petrol also exist.
Vehicles are variety of categories including cars trucks airplanes trains etc. Vehicles are devices that are designed or used to transport people or cargo from one point to another. The main problem as you can probably guess.
With all that said nuclear power isn t without its issues and yes there have been attempts in the past to make nuclear cars planes and ships. Four wheels up front to spread out the load it s a rather ingenious and out of the box idea one that he may have. Tremulis as mentioned above also took a stab at a nuclear powered car with the seattle ite xxi a full size concept car displayed in the early sixties that envisioned another approach to handling the weight of a nuclear reactor and its attendant shielding on a car chassis.
It s still scientifically inaccurate but a plausible sci. I like to think it s down to degradation of the fissiable material after 200 years causing major instability. 31 points 4 days ago.
Yes cars in fallout are nuclear powered however how volataile they are is a bit silly as literally every fender bender would be instantly fatal.
Fallout nuclear powered car. The ford nucleon is a concept car developed by ford in 1957 designed as a future nuclear powered car one of a handful of such designs during the 1950s and 60s the concept was only demonstrated as a scale model. The design did not include an internal combustion engine. Rather the vehicle was to be powered by a small nuclear reactor in the rear of the vehicle based on the assumption that. A nuclear powered car was designed in the 1950s called the ford nucleon but never made it into the prototype phase.
9 joshua sawyer is of the opinion that in the post war world bikes regardless of condition would be considered as popular to ride. Seen as a spiritual successor to 1988 s wasteland the fallout universe is instead set in an alternate history where the 1950 s nuclear age optimism comes to fruition with nuclear powered.
