nuclear-electric

That said, there really is nothing but politics keeping the modern western economies from going nearly 100% nuclear-electric, even for transport.

"KAPL employees were told late last week that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was ending the $65 million program to develop a nuclear-electric propulsion system as it reorders its priorities."

He explained that we are seeking more solid and secure development in all fields, based on energy conservation and on the use of cheaper energy such as nuclear energy, for which reason when the thermoelectric powerhouses are completed almost all our future electrical development will be nuclear-electric.

The command-car looped and dodged from one target to the other; at one, keg like canisters of plutonium, collpasiumplated and weighing tons apiece, were coming out of the vaults, and at the other lifters were bringing out loads of nuclear-electric power-unit cartridges, some as big as a ten liter jar, to power a spaceship engine, and some small as a round of pistol ammunition, for things like flashlights.

He had to make screen-calls to people he would never have bothered talking to under ordinary circumstances-the superintendent of the meat-packing plant on Delta Continent, the chief engineer on the now-idle Big Blackwater drainage project, the master mechanic at the nuclear-electric power-unit plant.

"Mr. Stenson has something here that'll interest you," Grego said, picking up something that looked like a small nuclear-electric razor. g'Tum off your hearing aid, if you please, Lieutenant.

There was less charcoal being burned now than formerly; the Uller Company had been bringing in great quantities of synthetic thermoconcentrate-fuel, and had been setting up nuclear furnaces and nuclear-electric power-plants, wherever they gained a foothold on the planet.

They began unloading equipment -- a small, portable nuclear-electric conversion unit, a powerful solenoid-hammer, crowbars and intrenching tools, tins of blasting plastic.
