The Nuclear Tank: Chrysler's TV-8

There were a lot of wacky tank concepts spawned during the early Cold War, but probably the most insane was the Chrysler TV-8 nuclear powered tank, developed as part of the US Army's ASTRON tank program. What could possibly go wrong with an amphibious tank running off of nuclear fuel that also has a turret heavier than its hull? A lot, I imagine.
