NOBODY has developed a nuclear fission reactor that will produce more power than it uses to intitiate the fusion reaction. Doing this is one of the Holy Grails of 21st Century power generation technology. That's why NASA and many other public and private organizations have spent so much money on research over the last four decades. <br /> I agree that we won't see Nuclear powered locomotives(other than straight electrics getting catenary power from nuke plants). But,for those interested, the Modern Steam Page has some interesting engineering concepts for such units. The Modular pebble bed reactors discussed are a revolutionary new design that offer many safety advantages over the current contol rod systems. <br /> <br />http://www.messiaen.demon.co.uk/trains/newsteam/modern16.htm
