But I have a possible correction to xkcd. DOE was formerly AEC. One of their labs was Los Alamos with a side order of Sandia. They were the first to test bombs in the SW desert. Killed John Wayne early, or at least accelerated his death from smoking cigarettes.
In my nuclear years, I saw a video or a fail of theirs. They built a nuclear rocket. They then set up a camera and turned it on. When it failed, it spit chunks of plutonium out the back.
