――From the 1950s to the 1960s, much research was done on the use of nuclear power in various countries around the world.
――It is expected that the cruising power will be almost unlimited when it is mounted on an aircraft, and it will be attempted to mount it on a strategic bomber.
--Development began in 1951, one of the B-36s was remodeled, a P-1 type pressurized water reactor was installed in the bomb layer, the nose was remodeled, and radiation protection measures and cockpit encapsulation were applied. ..
――In NB-36H, the reactor was not used for propulsion but was used for investigating the effects of radiation.
――47 flight tests were conducted from 1955 to 1957, but due to the high risk of a crash, the plan was canceled in 1958 and the aircraft was dismantled.

――The biggest change in appearance is the encapsulation of the cockpit, which greatly changes the shape of the nose.
――In addition, all the weapons were removed.
