Abstract

This program led to considerable analytical and experimental ef fort that provided tantalizing, but inconclusive compression results. This paper discusses our proposed follow -on effort. This follow -on effort would provide more analytical detail while exploring the benefit of a smaller fission package and higher yield fraction. The yield fraction (estimated at 10% of the fissionable material from MCNP results) could be increased with a deuterium -tritium fusion boost. We propose to investigate how this approach would improve the system by increasing yield with a small er package and allow for a greater amount of thrust for a given quantity of fissionable material. We will investigate how the magnetic bottle will change under these conditions as well. Finally, we will discuss how this may affect the Z -drive mechanism.
