i just looked it up for the 2nd time nuclear engines do utilize fusion. but just give me a week to to build a prototype to prove you wrong.

a nuclear engine is literally just a nuclear reactor used to heat up a fuel which causes it to expand and exit the nozzle, generating thrust. there is NO fusion involved at all. if there were, it would be called a fusion engine, NOT a fission engine.

if i use hydrogen it also causes fusion here, which is not realistic so thats why im not using hydrogen.

if i actually make fuel rods it wont work, cause they take up too much space, and no there is not fusion in fission engines. i suggest you try to google instead of trying to prove a fact wrong.

and just because it has uranium in it does not mean that they are "fuel rods"

look it up actually do research

im saying in a real nuclear engine

there is no fusion in nuclear engines, and this does have uranium fuel rods.
