NB-36H

NB-36H

NB-36H

The plane which the United States of America examined with NB-36H in the 1950s. It was produced as the first stage of the atomic energy promotion bomber WS-125 (ウエポン system) development that examined practical use.

I put a nuclear reactor on a plane, and the purpose of this plane was to investigate the experiment of the cover and the influence of the radiation for the electric circuit on radiation. I remodeled it, and one plane was produced, and a flight test was carried out from 1955 through 1957. The body is dismantled in 1958 [1].

Summary

 
NB-36H and B-50 which flies

As an experiment machine to be equipped with a nuclear reactor, I remodel the body of conveyer B-36H (B-36H-20-CF serial number 51-5712) which is the latest strategic bomber at the time. Caused by the tornado was injured, and assumed the body that repair was required a remodeling mother ship [1]. With this experiment machine, I did not use it as power, but I redecorated the rear bomb bay and established nuclear reactor P-1 (pressurization water type, output 1 megawatt) before an opportunity [2]. A conveyer was engaged in this study, and conveyer company was going to use it for data accumulation to develop X-6 which was real atomic energy promotion testing equipment in the future. Therefore I checked the influence that a nuclear reactor gave to a crew. The radiation defense shields such as the water tanks which protected a crew from a radiation in NB-36H were taken and, in the cockpit of the nose, were redecorated into a capsule form. Because I used lead or the flint glass for the cover, it becomes 12t only at the weight of the operation capsule, and cover processing is made on a ground support vehicle [2].

In NB-36H, full-scale development was started in 1951 as an MX1589 plan. After an X-6 plan was canceled in 1953, for radiation cover examination use, development was continued. In addition, the flight test of 215 hours in total was carried out 47 times from September, 1955 to March, 1957, but Boeing B-50 which measured a radiation and the C-119 carrier with the soldier who blockaded the spot when it crashed by any chance accompanied it each time [2]. In addition, after a flight, I made a trial of a nuclear reactor taken down in a specially made pit installed in Fort Worth factory of conveyer company by NB-36H on one of inspection.

Atomic energy promotive body

In NB-36H, I did not use nuclear energy for driving force, but, in X-6 which American air forces were going to develop next, was going to be equipped with "atomic energy turbojet P-1" by GE company. Compressed air was heated by a high temperature of 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit that a nuclear reactor rose from, and this engine was a thing gushed as hot air.

For the futurology at the time of the development, the practical use of the atomic energy promotion plane was foretold, but the jet exhaust burst into laughter was more likely to be really performed radioactive contamination of, and practical use was difficult.

As the weapon of that purpose fact the atomic bomber plan was finally canceled in 1961 saying that was worthless. In any case, the United States where the nuclear reactor which a plane can operate was put on is the first time in history, and and NB-36H is the only case.

Atomic energy promotion airplane of the Soviet Union

I experimented on Tu-119 which put a nuclear reactor on Tupolev Tu-95 strategic bomber, but I traced the progress when the Soviet Union which was a rival of the cold war era in the United States was similar to NB-36H, and it did not really reach the production of the atomic energy promotion airplane.
