Comments
I've seen some novels where the tug does a push, but on the ship's nose, not the radioactive tail.

Physical/virtual markers where Tugs can clamp on. These would be places on the towed ship that are reinforced to take the strain of a tug thrusting through it. As to their placement, forward of the region where the CoM is or behind? Forward you have the issue of tail wagging, behind you're closer to the towed ship's drive. Push or Pull? That's the question.
