Advanced Fission Systems

Advanced Fission Systems
Research Cost: 25000
Summary
Extremely powerful propulsion and power systems based on splitting the atom.
Description
Though fission technology has advanced standard solid core to gas core systems, and enabled dramatic strides in both our spaceship drives and habitats, its efficiency remains hampered by energy loss, fuel inadequacies and other engineering limitations. To overcome these shortcomings, we have at last designed a new advanced fission system that combines the magnetic confinement of our gas core reactors with the breeding capabilities of our molten core systems. By layering these two reactor systems around each other, we have created a central molten core breeding reaction that can slowly burn through a wide variety of fuel sources to generate power. This core is also enclosed within an ongoing gaseous reaction, which captures the neutrons from the molten reaction to sustain its own chain reaction. Solid-state energy collectors transform the energy released as electromagnetic radiation and charged particles from both reactions into usable electricity for the spaceship. These advanced fission systems will carry us to the farthest corners of our solar system - and ever-closer to our alien visitors.
