Default Convair NX-2?

I was thumbimg through an aviation book catalog while waiting for a flight
today and saw a blurb about a book about the NX-2. Apparently Convair
designed it with the intention of using a nuclear reactor for thrust. Has
anyone read the book? How far did Convair and General Electric actually get
in the design and testing?
