Airborne Nuclear Reactors……..

Ages ago, I read an article about the use of Nuclear reactors to power aircraft and a reactor was in fact carried by a Convair B-36 in the 1950’s although it did’nt power the engines.

How would this in theory work? How would it turn an engine? Could it really be done? I am aware that it’s not a practical way to power aircraft but nevertheless an interesting subject……
