A nuclear rocket engine that passes fuel over a hot reactor. This (in theory) gives a higher burn temp, and higher ISP (efficiency). This save is still a work in progress,and I plan to add a control board.

    if you'd like to I could try and design a cooling system for the engine. (Not to be published obviously)

    @Clouds I put the radiators on the casing as the casing has a far lower melting point than the core. That way the core can overclock but the casing can stay cool. But you make a good point as the engine does sacrifice saftey with the current cooling system. thank you for commenting! =)

    Personally I think temp control would be more efficient in the core rather than the casing. That would require an overhaul of the design though.
