Need some information about Convair X-6
From here http://www.aviation-history.com/articles/nuke-american.htm :
Identifying the aircraft was the radioactivity symbol painted on the tailfin. The R-1, one standing for the energy it would generate, a one megawatt; reactor installed on the aircraft was a liquid-sodium cooled power plant
But from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_X-6 :
was modified to carry a 3 megawatt, air-cooled nuclear reactor
???
