From the Next Big Future Website,
"The idea (Orion) is here revived by the replacement of the small fission bombs with pure deuterium-tritium fusion bombs, and the pusher plate of the original design with a large magnetic mirror. The ignition of the thermonuclear fusion reaction is done by the transient formation of keV super-explosives under the high pressure of a convergent shock wave launched into liquid hydrogen propellant by a conventional high explosive."
Winterberg reinvents Project Orion Nuclear Rocket with fallout free, cheaper pure fusion rocket with magnetic mirror instead of a pusher plate
I will leave it to the professionals to judge the practicality of the proposals outlined in this story. But the model proposed in this story does sound appealing even if it is a long way from being bench tested.
