The Westinghouse effort has the reactor in a 40' container with shielding (going by the crosssection, easily 30 cm thick), and specifies a concrete bunker to be built at the destination.A nuclear flask for rail transport weighs on the order of 50 t, and has walls ~37 cm thick. If the goal is to make the reactor air-transportable, 50t is about the high end (and already limits what aircraft can be used).The Westinghouse video shows a standard 44t GVW lorry configuration, which can carry about 25t. A 50t container would need an Oshkosh M1070 with M1000 trailer.
