Add CubeCab to the list, if we can get Phase II funding. (I forget if
I said, but: anyone on this list who is a US person, feel free to ask
offlist for a copy of our Phase I report. It's still undergoing
export control review, so it/s US persons only, but unrestricted
distribution aside from that.)
When we talked to BWXT, they were making fuel only, in support of the
DRACO project only, or so they told us. With DRACO gone, I'm not sure
if they have any current active nuclear thermal propulsion projects.
