Considered for each case were nuclear engine designs Type A (18 tonnes thrust, 4.8 tonnes mass), AF (20 tonnes thrust, 3.25 tonnes mass), V (40 tonnes thrust, 18 tonnes mass), and V with a bioshield for use on manned flights (40 tonnes thrust, 25 tonnes mass).
Optimal stage size was 700 to 800 tonnes for the Type A engines and 1,500 to 2,000 tonnes for the type V engines (this resulted in a halaciously large number of nuclear engines by Western standards).
