Yeah, it is. Its a way to stop burning petroleum and start using (clean, available) nuclear power.
You build lots of 'em. There will always be railcars entering the station carrying trucks, and if there isn't, computer control of the system will detect low supplies of railcars at some rail stations and send empty ones there.
No. There should be enough to be able to share them - one truck drives off, another drives on.
Ideally, the government would own and maintain this, like they do a lot of the transit systems such as the Washinton DC Metro.
Government.
The railcar would be under its own, on-board computer control. No one would need to drive it, just specify where it was supposed to go.
Nuclear power comes from a conventional nuclear power station with the electricity provided by wires to the rails or overhead catenaries.
rude drivers nope. rude TRUCKERS... 1966Dave Head A power plant has not been built in this country in over 20 years... how many power plants (nuclear power plants) are going to need to be built for this...
No training should be needed for users to operate this system.
No training.
Occupants are dead. Why would it tip over? How many regular railcars tip over? Oh, yeah, some of 'em - but this would have tracks that are maintained, not neglected. Railcars should never tip over, strike other railcars, or otherwise have "accidents" since computers are much more reliable than people at doing dull, repebreastive things.
