Re: Fission Powered orion spacecraft

Is it possible to build a fission powered orion spacecraft that would explode the nukes inside of the back of the spacecraft and could it have an opening in the back of the spacecraft where all the kenitic energy could come out? Could a nuclear reactor be capable of producing one explosion after another with enough uranium or plutonium to power it?
