Abstract Nuclear rocket engines may be divided into two general classes based on the type of reactor used, i.e., solid-core systems and fluid-core systems. The latter may be further subdivided into liquid-, gas-, and plasma-core engines. Although fluid-core systems have been studied by a number of investigators during the past ten years, no major development activity has been initiated. Details of these systems are discussed in Chapter 9.
