ASTRON[edit]
What is that? BP OMowe (talk) 21:49, 18 July 2016 (UTC) A deeply obscure project name for a tank development program in the 60's. Rather than give the designers a set of weights, engine power, and gun sizes, they let them come up with anything they wanted. The resulting suggestions were as insane as you might expect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmackaerospace (talk • contribs) 17:57, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
Nuclear BS[edit]
This tank, in prototype form, had diesel engines. It was intended to have a gas turbine engine when they became available.
It was also the 1950's, and people were nuclear power crazy. So someone wrote a memo claiming that when a suitable nuclear reactor became available, they could then upgrade to said mythical reactor. None of that, in any way shape or form, makes nuclear reactors the intended power plant.
