...reactor is basically a source of heat, and can be run at any temperature that its structural materials can stand. The most obvious way to turn this heat into propulsive energy is to pierce the reactor with tubes and blow air through them by means of a compressor. The air keeps the reactor from overheating. In doing this service, it gets hot itself. It expands enormously and roars out of the other end of the reactor, spinning a turbine that turns the compressor. This is little more than an ordinary turbojet engine with its combustion chambers replaced by a nuclear...

But a compressor unit failed to do its job and by program time the footing was closer to raspberry sherbet. As a replacement, NBC hustled up some film shorts. Two hours later the ice show finally went...
