NASA Aims to Deploy Nuclear Reactor on Moon by 2030 for Strategic Power
NASA is accelerating plans to deploy a 100-kilowatt nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030, according to interim head Sean Duffy. The reactor would ensure steady power through long lunar nights and help secure water-ice resources at the Moon’s south pole. China and Russia also aim for lunar reactors by the mid-2030s, sparking a geopolitical “moon ...

China and Russia Sign Deal to Build Lunar Nuclear Power Plant by 2036
China and Russia have agreed to build a nuclear-powered lunar station by 2036, aiming to outpace NASA’s delayed Artemis mission. The reactor will power a permanent research base at the Moon’s south pole and be constructed autonomously, according to Roscosmos. The deal marks a major step in their joint plan for long-term lunar and Mars explorati...
