They flew the B-60 but never with the nuclear engines installed before
the plug was pulled. The engines used for test flights were normal

The B-60 was never designed to be nuclear powered. It was the direct

As previously stated, one B-36 was converted to house a functioning reactor.
The reactor's power was not used for propulsion...
