Proving DRACO will deliver
The United States is now closer than it has been in over five decades to launching the first nuclear thermal rocket into space, thanks to DRACO—the Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Orbit.

On April 26, 1989, the Frascati Research Centre reported the emission of >5000 n/s over many hours from a titanium-deuterium system during changes of temperature and pressure. It was attempted to reproduce these observations using a highly sensitive (10%) thermal neutron monitor and two differently degassed titanium samples. During the 20-day experimental period, the neutron emission from these titanium-deuterium systems never exceeded 1.7 (first 8 days) and 0.6 n/s (last 12 days), averaged over 100-min intervals.
