The combinations of nuclear, propulsion, and airframe components, related by 12 independent variables, that yielded maximum payload are presented for various flight cruise points. A unit shield which minimized maintenance and operational problems, was designed to limit the flight crew dose to 2.5 rem per 1000 hours of flight. Crash safety and afterheat removal problems were not assessed. Payload fraction increased at a declining rate as gross weight increased.
