A New Fuel is Capable of Enduring the Extreme Conditions Within a Nuclear Thermal Propulsion Reactor

The new fuel could pave the way for future nuclear rocket enginesGeneral AtomicsGeneral Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) has successfully tested nuclear fuel designed for future spacecraft propulsion and power. The tests confirm the fuel's ability to endure the extreme conditions of a nuclear rocket reactor.Until now, spacecraft have primarily relied on chemical rockets for...
