What is, or was, the plan for JIMO propulsion and power before it was cancelled/deferred?

A fast reactor for the power source, and 30 cm ion engines for propulsion. I was working on the rad-hard components for the PMAD systems. There is still some of that being done, but I don't know if it will ever fly as intended.
