Suggestion: fission fragment reactor and rocket engine

[username90001]

add fission fragment reactors and rocket engines they are much more effective than normal turbine reactors and also they dont need giantic annoying turbines

[Alcatergit]

Can you explain what the issue is pls

[username90001]

its suggestion

What exactly are you suggesting? "fission fragment reactors and rockets are much more effective than normal turbine reactors" is a statement not a suggestion.

I'm only really familiar with Nuclear Salt Water Rockets, in which you have small amounts of highly unstable nuclear material dissolved in water, and when you pump it into the rocket nozzle it goes supercritical, resulting in a very powerful plume of radioactive steam that the rocket rides on... Theoretically, no one has been crazy enough to build one, but it would make for an extremely powerful rocket engine... How someone would turn this into a functional nuclear reactor I have no idea because "nuclear-powered steam explosion" doesn't sound like it would be easy to control. Fission Fragment Engines work on a similar concept I think, although again, I'm not really familiar with the concept.

fission fragment engines are not same at all they are more effective also and nswr is just continious orion drive with molten fuel

Interesting, I like this idea... Kind of an inverse particle accelerator.
