Prospective models include B-50 and B-36 successors, the B-35 Flying Wing, and jet bombers such as the XB-47 and YB-49 among others.

Atomic energy and poison gas risks outlined by Smyth
D Smyth and E Wigner show in May 1941 that fission byproducts from a 100000 kilowatt reactor could create a long lasting radioactive cloud over a large city. They describe separation of isotopes for medical and industrial use and the potential to form a portable radiological bomb, with lead shielding depending on gamma radiation. Oak Ridge emits many byproducts, complicating disposal as isotopes decay at varying rates.
