Full article: http://www.physorg.com/news176033450.htmlRussia should build a new nuclear-powered spaceship for prospective manned missions to Mars and other planets, the nation's space chief said Thursday.
[...]
Perminov said the new nuclear-powered ship should have a megawatt-class nuclear reactor, as opposed to small nuclear reactors that powered some Soviet military satellites. The Cold War-era Soviet spy satellites had reactors that produced just a few kilowatts of power and had a life span of about a year.
It doesn't mention what kind of propulsion the ship will use, only that it has a lot of power. I'm curious.
