Nuclear planes?

Nuclear planes? | The USAF tried this idea and abandoned it (propeller powered bomber). 
The USSR tried it and it was “successful” because they didn’t use all that heavy shielding. The plane had a longer life than the flight crews, but the fuel had a half life way longer still. | image tagged in nuclear,plane,travel,radiation | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
