[edit] Description

A design proposal by Rodney A. Clark and Robert B. Sheldon theoretically increases efficiency and decreases complexity of a fission fragment rocket at the same time over the bundle proposal. In their design, nanoparticles of fissionable fuel are kept in a vacuum chamber subject to an axial magnetic field (acting as a magnetic mirror) and an external electric field.

A fission fragments ejected for propulsion

B reactor

C fission fragments decelerated for power generation

d moderator (BeO or LiH)

e containment field generator

f RF induction coil
