Outer Space Treaty
From: Paul Dietz <DIETZ at USC-ECL>
Indeed, The US and Russia have signed the outer space treaty, which prohibits
weapons of mass destruction in space or on planets.  It does not prohibit
nuclear power plants (remember that russian reactor that hit Canada?),
but does prohibit even 'peaceful' nuclear explosives so project Orion type
rockets are forbidden.
