looks like the USAF is considering jamming a reactor into one of their UAVS

Think they'll resurect the "glow-in-the-dark" brigade too?
The nuclear reaction they use in the article is very probably wrong.
It defies nuclear theory and the experiment that caused all the hype
about it could not be duplicated by Lawrence-Livermore. Given as LLNL
is one of the premier nuclear research labs, I doubt that this
technology would be used by the Air Force.
