I don't know about the "Leonov", but I remember reading something about Clarke's intentions for the Discovery's engines. He wanted to use a pulsed nuclear drive (something like Orion, I think) and tried to convince Stanley Kubrick to show the Discovery's engines pulsing on and off as the drive fired. It's been a while since I saw the film, but I don't remember seeing anything like that.
