Can it be scaled down to individual household size, or motor vehicle engine size? I'd love a nuke powered steam turbine to power my electric roadster!

I’m not sure. There could be [physical] limitations on what’s needed for the actual nuclear-reactor / material. As-is, a hot-tub sized reactor is REALLY small.
