Most records about Nuclear Powered aircraft are classified, just like the Nuclear Submarines. The United States has only published one record of a Nuclear Powered aircraft. The program was cancelled in 1958, due to complications.

Is there any possibility of designing a rocket using atomic energy?

Yes. Nuclear thermal rockets heat a gas to superhot temperatures and use it for thrust. Tested on the ground, but never launched. Nuclear ion engines make electricity from a nuclear reactor, then use it to accelerate ions for thrust. Tested on the ground. Ion engines powered by solar cells and nuclear reactors for electrical power have both been tested in space, although never together. Theoretically, it is possible to use nuclear weapons detonated behind a ship to push it, but no one has gone beyond theory with the concept because of the cost and political ramifications. As for fusion, several theories exist, but none have yet been demonstrated to work.
