The principal advantage of a nuclear-powered aircraft is long range without refueling. To deliver bombs deep in enemy territory, it appears necessary to use nuclear-powered aircraft. However, aerial reconnaissance is an essential prelude. If nuclear-powered aircraft are required for bombing, in all likelihood they also would be needed for such reconnaissance. Accordingly, it is of interest to know the tolerance of aerial films to nuclear radiations.
