Lunar 100 kW Nuclear Reactor Deployment
Sector: Power Generation (CCGT) • Location: USA
Source: Neutron Bytes
NASA plans to deploy a 100 kW nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030 to provide heating and electrical power for a lunar base, especially during the lunar night. The reactor will be a plug-and-play system using TRISO fuel enriched to less than 19.5% U235, designed to operate autonomously for at least 10 years without maintenance or refueling. It includes a closed Brayton cycle power conversion system

Description
Description | NASA plans to deploy a 100 kW nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030 to provide heating and electrical power for a lunar base, especially during the lunar night. The reactor will be a plug-and-play system using TRISO fuel enriched to less than 19.5% U235, designed to operate autonomously for at least 10 years without maintenance or refueling. It includes a closed Brayton cycle power conversion system, heat rejection radiator, and power management systems, and must fit within the cargo space of a heavy-class rocket capable of carrying 15 tons. |
