The US uses nuclear power aircraft carriers. Is this efficient? What are the drawbacks? Could the same systems theoretically be used in cars?

It’s decent for ships, at some point in ship size it becomes easier to fit in a nuclear powerplant than a fuel tank big enough to hold fuel for a month or whatever it needs between port visits.
Cars are nowhere big enough for that. Also a ship is in the water, giving it infinite cooling for the reactor.
