At least when comparing NERVA to ITER you're creating a bit of a false dichotomy. NERVA was a poorly optimized NTPR to begin with. Yes they did manage to get it to work but it's TWR was abysmal and far lower than the technological limitations would have allowed. Timberwind rockets for example had TWRs of 30, and the DUMBO rockets would have had TWRs similar to chemical bipropellant rockets. ITER is also not a good example to use, it seems essentially to be a glorified demonstrator. It's like saying that Chicago Pile no1 would make a bad NTPR that would compare terribly to a hypergolic rocket.
