That's a very cool video (direct link: https://youtu.be/V-8q8INxQEY)
Had the pleasure to see the nuclear engines (intended for bombers) described in the video when road-tripping through Idaho some years back.
Go for the Experimental Breeder Reactor 1 but stay and have a picnic near a pair of hulking relics of the Cold War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_Nuclear_Propulsion

Great video - but where did the bit at the end (from @30:07) with the swimsuit clad girls come from? The original?

Yes it was in the original! I left it in because I thought it was weird and interesting.
