So Chrysler built a prototype Nuclear powered tank.

While watching weird videos I found a video about a video game called Fallout. And the guy was talking about tanks in the game. He mentioned a Chrysler TV-8 its the only prototype built from several bids to make them. There were other designs by other companies. Chryslers tank was not only a tank but amphibious and had no windows so that a nuclear blast would not harm the occupants. It had a CCTV setup so they could drive with a monitor and camera. THis is cold war era stuff. Just thought it was interesting.

Picture of the actual prototype. It was gas powered during the prototype phase. Never was put into production.

Here is a concept drawing of it in water.

Here is the Wiki for the TV-8
