A method for initiating a nuclear resonance-fission nuclear reaction with additional thermonuclear fusion neutrons is that the fissile material is ionized and moved by rotation inside the magnetic trap at the speed of its resonant fission when it collides with thermal neutrons emerging from the moderator surrounding the reactor core, while under the action of high-energy fission products initiate thermonuclear fusion reactions, and the resulting high-energy fission products and synthesis and they direct it to the engine output nozzle to create reactive thrust, characterized in that at the initial time when there are no fission nuclei in the reactor core and the initial synthesis nuclei, the initial products of fission and synthesis reactions are introduced into the reactor core, then, after reaching the specified concentration and the required ratio between fission and fusion nuclei, high-energy protons are introduced into the magnetic trap during the initiation of fission and fusion reactions and rotate them inside it under the influence of a magnetic field, forcing I, during the entire time that they are trapped, pass through the vapor or gas contained in it from fissile material and the original fusion nuclei and thereby initiate the occurrence of nuclear reactions in them with the emission of neutrons, such as fission, evaporation of neutrons from excited fission nuclei and tritium, etc., the fast neutrons emitted in this way are sent to the moderator and slow them down to thermal energies, after which the obtained thermal neutrons are directed inside the magnetic trap, in addition to generating fast neutrons, High-energy protons rotating inside the reactor core ionize fission and fusion nuclei and, due to this, provide the beginning of their drift rotation under the influence of crossed electric and magnetic fields, with a speed providing resonant-dynamic fission of fissile material, while the energy - speed - relativistic mass of high-energy protons introduced into the reactor core, set so that their cyclotron speed in the magnetic field of the trap coincides with the cyclotron at the rotational speed of the selected type of the initial synthesis nuclei located in the axial region of the magnetic trap, which will provide collisionless energy transfer of high-energy protons by generating electromagnetic and magnetoacoustic waves directly to the original synthesis nuclei, and in addition, the energy of high-energy protons will be transferred to the synthesis nuclei due to collective collisionless, plasma processes - instabilities such as: two-stream, turbulent, etc., after acceleration of fission and synthesis reactions, the supply of high-energy protons to the reactor core is stopped or can be continued if it is necessary to further reduce the critical density of the fissile material, if the fission or synthesis reactions are insufficient, if additional energy is needed, as well as when the reaction is completely excluded from the joint reaction, synthesis or fission reactions, so that the high-energy protons introduced into the active zone do not fall on the walls of the reactor, their Larmor rad the jus should not exceed the radius of the active zone, while the energy - speed - relativistic mass of high-energy protons, as well as the Larmor frequency of their rotation and rotation of the synthesis nuclei located in the axial region of the active zone, are determined by the following relations
The ratio of the radii: R _AZ > R _p = M _p · V _p / (Z _p · V _p )

Determination of the relativistic mass of VP: M _p = Z _p · V _p · M _i / (Z _i · B _i );

where R _AZ - radius A3 of the magnetic trap;
R _p - Larmor radius of the airspace (Larmor radius decreases with decreasing energy);
M _p , M _i - relativistic mass of VP and the selected type of initial synthesis nuclei; V _p - speed VP;
Z _p , Z _i is the charge of the VP and the selected type of the initial synthesis nuclei;
In _p , In _i - the magnetic field strength at the place of rotation of the VP and the selected type of the original synthesis nuclei;
ν _p , ν _i - Larmor frequency of rotation of the VP and the selected type of the initial synthesis nuclei;
C is the speed of light;
m is the mass of the proton;
m _p - relativistic mass increment;
Δm is the relativistic mass increment;
Δm / m _p +1 is the mass that should correspond to the original nucleus of the synthesis (for example, its deuterium mass is 2 protons, therefore Δm = m _p and then Δm / m _p +1 = 2).
