    The document discusses combining arc reactor technology, conventional nuclear fission, and betavoltaic batteries to create a propulsion system with high power-to-weight ratio. It notes that arc reactor technology provides high power output in a small size but conventional nuclear fission systems are too large. Betavoltaic batteries also provide small power outputs. The document proposes combining fission and betavoltaics to leverage the power of fission in a smaller package for applications requiring high power-to-weight propulsion systems.
