US researchers push to put a nuclear reactor on the moon
Original: roscosmos
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are working on a small nuclear reactor designed to provide power on the moon. The project is part of Nasa's push for sustained lunar exploration, where reliable energy is needed for bases and operations during the two-week lunar night. Developments come as space powers including Russia's Roscosmos and China plan their own lunar programmes, fuelling talk of a new race to establish a lasting presence on the moon.
Why now: New progress on a lunar nuclear reactor lands amid renewed international competition over moon exploration.
