NASA Commits to Plan to Build a Nuclear Reactor on the Moon by 2030 | Scientific American

NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy are collaborating to construct a fission reactor on the lunar surface by 2030. This reactor, designed to operate for years without refueling, will support NASA's Artemis program, aiming to establish a long-term human presence on the moon and eventually Mars. This initiative underscores America's commitment to lunar exploration and the development of necessary infrastructure for future missions.
