The idea of a B-36 nuclear bomber loitering around for potentially years and years without landing is awesome and terrifying.

Given that one of the aircraft designs had the reactor exposed to ambient air, you probably don't want that.

The idea was that after they dropped the bombs they'd simply fly around over enemy territory just to spew radioactive garbage all over the country.
