Like the one from the canceled Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO). As described it would have "Providing a thousand times the electrical output of conventional solar or RTG based power system, the reactor was expected to open up opportunities like flying a full scale ice-penetrating radar system and providing a strong, high-bandwidth data transmitter."

It would be about the size of a Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank and have some reskined Gigantor XL Solar Array as it's deployable radiators. Great for long haul missions to the outer solar system powered by a few 200kW VASIMER engines.
