The conceptual Fission Engine with both high specific inpulse and thrust, abling the rocket engines and the payload to travel for long distance.
Information about this Engine:
It is designed in 1990, mean fuel is UBr4/H2O in the main tunnel, and pure H2O in side tunnels will be ejected in about 66m/s to repress the random motion of produced radioactive neutrons. Reminder, this is designed as a low pressure version, so you can only use it in the space, otherwise the thrust will decrease dramatically.

Is this the one that has the Uranium goes critical in the nozzle? I know tht there’s a few types of NTR that use the ‘salt water nuclear rocket’ phrase, uranium salted water which a lil more specific on the description of the one I refer. I don’t think that there is a more powerful realistic design for NTR if one of the more dangerous and insane ideas. Only an engineering hurdle really, I think it’s the storing of that much pure uranium that is the more insane idea of the concept to whereas the criticality occurring at be nozzle is not any more out there than the other ‘nuclear detonation for thrust’ ideas concerning NTR’s
