Description: A solid core nuclear rocket engine with high fuel efficiency and low thrust. Intended for use in upper stages and exoatmospheric conditions, it runs on standard liquid fuel. This is the deluxe model that includes a radiation shield to improve crew morale. Please try not to smear fissile material all over the landscape, it's bad for property prices around the spaceport.
