It is because after has, no past participle is there so had taken is correct.

Nor is also chosen for never and is used.

Use "nor" with other negatives. Even though "nor" is almost always used after "neither, " you can use it with other negative expressions and still form something grammatically correct.

Example: "The final guest is not here, nor should we wait for her before we start the festivities.

Example: "He has never gone fishing, nor does he have any desire to learn. ".

I think it is because of 'ever'. The construction would be [never + verb + obj, nor + sub + I + ever.
