MFPDs rely on nuclear fusion, which is the process of combining light atomic nuclei to release a tremendous amount of energy. This process is fundamentally different from the nuclear fission reactions used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs. In comparison to conventional chemical rockets, fusion propulsion systems provide a number of advantages, such as significantly higher exhaust velocities that lead to faster travel durations, less fuel consumption, and higher efficiency. These systems might make it possible to travel more quickly to far-off places both inside and outside of our solar system.
