Relating to or using nuclear energy, typically fission, for propulsion or power generation in military vessels.
Capable of being transported and launched from rail platforms.
Road-mobile: a deployment mode for ICBMs where the missile is mounted on a wheeled or tracked transporter‑erector‑launcher that can travel on public roads, enabling movement and concealment.
