Moon nuclear race sparks concern
The article explains that the United States, Russia, and China are working to develop nuclear reactors on the moon's surface by the mid-2020s to enhance resource exploration and establish permanent bases. These efforts involve nuclear technologies that pose significant challenges related to mobility, safety, and fuel management, with concerns about environmental and safety risks stemming from the use of highly enriched uranium. It indicates that both projects aim to generate approximately 20 kilowatts and 10 kilowatts of electricity for durations of 5 and 10 years, respectively. However, challenges related to transportation, operation, as well as risks of leaks and contamination, still remain, highlighting the need for international cooperation to ensure safe implementation.
