And here's the spiraling fuel stack of the Tricarbide Grooved Ring NTR, both of these intended to as much as possible increase the liquid propellant's contact with the fuel to facilitate maximum thermal transfer. This allows the propellant to get as hot as it's possible to get and allows the reactor to potentially run hotter as it's ability to self-cool using propellant to dump it's heat is improved by the increased contact area.
