I once got to briefly discuss project Orion with Freeman Dyson at a book signing. IIRC (it was a long time ago) he said that :

- he thought it could be made to work

- all big engineering projects (dams, skyscrapers etc) kill people

- putting all that radiation into the earth's atmosphere couldn't be justified
