X-12, this concept was created by Dr. Lyle Borst and his physics students at the Univeristy of Utah after consulting the Association of American Railroads and a dozen different companies. As big as the largest steam engine, the two-sectioned X-12 would be 160 feet long, would be powered by a steam-generating atomic reactor in a 200-ton shield to contain its intense radiation. The whole engine would weigh a massive 360 tons, and its wheels would be driven by electric motors. The reactos itself, designed by Babcock & Wilcox Co., consists of a cylindrical tank three feet in diameter and a foot long, filled with a solution of fissionable U0235. As the control rods are withdrawn, chain reaction in the uranium heats the solution to 460°F. Water piped into thousands of tubes running through the cylinder is turned to steam by reactor’s heat. After passing through a moisture trap the steam goes on to turn the turbine, which drives four electric generators, two on each side of the reactor shield, producing 7,000 hp.
