Possibility of retaining nuclear rocket fissionable material, in gaseous form, in pressure field of vortex, while low molecular weight propellant diffuses radially inward through it; 2-dimensional, laminar, vortex flow is studied, propellant being introduced tangentially at periphery and withdrawn at center; potential of gaseous fission rocket seems to warrant intensive study of problems involved.
