The proposals for the WS-125 requirement are covered at these threads:

I have the original and revised editions of Tony Buttler's American Secret Projects volume about US bomber, attack, and ASW aircraft projects envisaged in 1945-1974, and it show now be clear that the Convair NX-2 nuclear-powered plane seen in the documentary series Planes That Never Flew and Secret Superpower Aircraft was actually not designed for the WS-125 and instead was a continuation of the Convair CAMAL (Continuous Airborne Alert Missile Launching and Low Level Penetration Aircraft) project of 1959.
