The 1360 was apparently developed at the request to Atomic Energy
Commission(AEC), I would guess a forerunner of the DOE. There
where apparently only5 built 3 for the AEC and 2 for the NSA.
The United States Atomic Energy Commission was superseded by the
NuclearRegulatory Commission in the 1970s. The Department of Energy
is not the samething at all.

AEC was split up into NRC, mostly now composed of attorneys,
gynecologists, architects, and theologians, who see it as their duty to
suppress nuclear power, and (initially) ERDA, or Energy Research and
Development Agency. ERDA became DoE. So DoE is, along with NRC, a
descendant of AEC.
