NASA 2030. For the year to build a nuclear reactor

US Space Agency NASA 2030. It plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon by the year, according to the US media.

US ambitions are building a permanent basis for living men on the moon surface.

According to Politico, NASA’s head referred to similar plans in China and Russia and said these two countries could “potentially declare them on the moon.

But the questions are aimed at how the aim and time have been, the latest and NASA budget cuts, and some scientists promote the geopolitical objectives.

Including the US, China, Russia, India and Japan, international nations are exploring the surface of the moon to plan some sort of sustainable human settlements.

“To properly advance this critical technology, the future energy creation of the future,” Secretary of Our US Transportation Sean Duffy wrote President Donald Trump, according to NASA, according to New York Times.

Mr. Duffy asked for commercial company proposals to build a reactor that could create at least 100 kilowatt power.

This is pretty small. A typical lighthouse wind turbine creates 2-3 megawatts.

The idea of building nuclear reactor as a source of energy on the moon is not new.

In 2022, NASA gave $ 5 million contracts to design the reactor to companies.

And this year in May, China and Russia 2035. They have announced that they plan to build an automated nuclear station for the year.

Many scientists agree that the best way to provide constant energy on the moon surface would be the only one.

A moon day is the equivalent of four weeks on the floor, consisting of two constant sun and two weeks from the dark. This is very difficult about solar power.

“Building a little moon habitat would require a Megawatt-scale energy. Solar matrices and batteries cannot trust these demands reliably,” Sungwoo Lim, Professor of Surrey University Space Application, Exploration and Instrumentation.

“Nuclear energy is not only desirable, it is inevitable,” he added.

Lonel Wilson Professor Lancaster University, believes that the reactor on the Moon is 2030.

“Artemis is enough to build infrastructure on the moon,” he added, aimed at sending people and equipment to the Moon.

There are also some questions about security.

“Radioactive materials are launched through the Earth’s atmosphere. You need to have a special license to do so, but it is not insurmountable,” says Dr. Simeon Barber, specialists in the Planet scientific science specialists.

Duffy’s directive was surprised following the latest NASA disturbants, when Trump Administration announced 24% cuts in NASA’s budget.

This is a significant science program such as the return of the Marte sample, aiming to return the surface of the planet to the ground.

Scientists are also worried that this ad is politically motivated by an international race made to the Moon.

“It seems that the competition will return to the first spaces of the day’s first day, from a scientific point of view, that it is a little disappointing and disturbing,” says Barbark bar.

“The competition can create innovation, but if the attention of the interesting nation is closer and you can see the larger image that is exploring the solar system and beyond the property.

Mr. Duffy declares “declaring” the potential of China and Russia “declaring” declare “is referring to an agreement called Artemis agreement.

In 2020 Seven Nations signed the agreement to establish the principles of how the countries need to operate on the surface of the moon.

The agreements are safety sites for consolidation of operations and assets that build on the Moon.

“If you build a nuclear reactor or any base on the moon, you can start claiming that you have a security center around you, because you have equipment,” says Barber Dr.

“To some, that is,” is the owner of this part of the moon, we will work here and you can’t get into it, “he explained.

Barber Dr emphasize that there are barriers to use humans before placing nuclear reactor on the moon.

Nasa Artemis 3 wants to send man to the moon surface in 2027, but he has faced certain sets and uncertainty about funding.

“If you have a nuclear power base, but you don’t have to get any people and equipment, then it’s not a lot,” he added.

“The plans are not very close at the moment,” he said.
