[edit] Summary

The fission-fragment rocket is a rocket engine design that directly harnesses hot nuclear fission products for thrust, as opposed to using a separate fluid as working mass. The design can, in theory, produce very high specific impulses while still being well within the abilities of current technologies.

a fissionable filaments

b revolving disks

c reactor core

d fragments exhaust
