The only problem is that when you get to Mars you no longer have any hair.

I wonder if it could be combined with a steam turbine or some other process to produce electricity once on the surface of Mars?

Would be great for freight hauling, getting material into place in orbit, especially fuel, robots, support machinery

I'm wondering what they use for reaction mass, and how they achieve this "doubled" efficiency.
In order to develop thrust, you have to eject some sort of mass out the back, that's Newton's Law.
Does this nuclear engine eject mass at twice the velocity?
What sort of mass?
How is it accelerated?

Looks like the specific impulse is going to dictate that it is going to be used for space travel only.

Yea, yea yea... I developed this 15 years ago, then realized that I would be polluting space and killing space aliens.
Kept me awake for 15 seconds worrying about that.
So when I develop a way to fold space, I'll get back to you.
And don't tell me some Jabba the Hut looking thing that does Spice has already done it, malarky!
