    It runs on heat exchange, look it up because I don’t want to explain it

    @StockPlanesRemastered In theory they could.
    Anyways, a nuclear jet still runs much longer than a hydrocarbon jet for equivalent thrust and fuel load.

    @Graingy Jet Engines don't run on electricity

    It depends on the engine’s lifespan, you’ll have to replace that before the fuel rods.

    @StockPlanesRemastered Oh, much longer. Days.
    The question is "how many?"

    @Graingy ok, well the jet issue is seconds away from being solved, now the jar and cheese thing.

    Well not much longer than a conventional one. See jet engines they don't exactly run on electricity. Sadly.

    @Boeing727200F Uh, unfortunately probably not. Nuke jets are a lot spicier than most other forms of reactor.

    A 490 MW reactor with 50 kilograms of uranium would therefore burn 1 percent of its fuel each day. Assuming that an accumulation of neutron poisons could be avoided, the missile could fly for several days.

    Our engineers have told me quite similar.

    great,
    quite possibly 20 years if lucky.
