Didn't they modify one of the Consolidated beauties to operate on nuclear power?

Don't know if they ever did but I remember reading about it being discussed in Dad's Popular Mechanics magazine.

They never installed a reactor to power the aircraft, but they did have a functioning research reactor in the aircraft.

It got pretty hot.
