Abstract
The results of development work and power startup of a bench prototype of the reactor for a nuclear rocket engine - the IRGIT reactor - are presented for the development of a nuclear rocket motor. Solutions to problems of constructing and organizing the working process in the nuclear powr motor, the composition of the core, and the special features of the physics and thermophysics of the reactor are presented. The solutions are implemented in the construction of the IRGIT reactor and have passed firing tests.
