I haven't seen anything associated with Prometheus that describes the
system involved, but if it's a nuclear thermal rocket then there's lots
of information on the technology at

http://www.fas.org/nuke/space/index.html

The other option is to use the space reactor to generate electricity to
run ion engines or to electrically heat hydrogen (or whatever working
fluid they want to use). I don't know of a good source for technical
information on nuclear electric propulsion though.
