Was the first nuclear powered cargo/cruise ship ordered in 1955 and was finish building in 1959. Planed to be the start in a new era of sea commerce. It is still alive to this day as a museum ship in Baltimore

Was a nuclear weapons test to lob small nuclear tipped artillery shells and test the effects on the surrounding area. The gun named Atomic Annie launched the shell 10km away and was detonated 524 ft above the ground

Not exactly a nuclear powered aircraft. It was a test bed bomber built from a P-36 Peacemaker. Designed to test jet powered bombers and the effect of having a nuclear reactor on board the aircraft. It was suppose to go into future testing of using the installed reactor as a power source. If the reactor could power the aircraft it could stay in the air for several weeks non-stop. (That's if humans did not need food and bathroom breaks)

A experimental nuclear powered medium tank. built to be amphibious and able to take a direct hit from a 105mm artillery round. Not too much is known about this tank. but its design disabled its ability to rotate the main turret.

The smallest nuclear weapons system ever built. A recoiles rifle capable of launching small M-388 nuclear projectiles with a yield equal to 10-20 tonnes of TNT. (more than enough to destroy a city block) Its main intention of use was for anti-armor in Europe against soviet armor and large infantry groups.

The first ever nuclear powered attack submarine, laid down in 1952 and launched in 1954. It had 6 torpedo tubes and the record for submersed speed of 23 knots. its a museum ship in Groton, Connecticut
