NASA aims to launch a nuclear reactor on the moon by 2030 to create a secure zone for future lunar explorations. This initiative, led by Sean Duffy, is designed to support a potential lunar economy and facilitate a permanent human presence. In this context, China and Russia are also developing their plans for lunar reactors, intensifying the competition among the three nations. Despite recent budget cuts, NASA has committed over $7 billion for lunar exploration and aims for a human return to the moon by 2027 as part of the Artemis program.
NASA is preparing to install an American nuclear reactor on the moon before 2030, aiming to create a 'keep-out zone' to protect future landing sites.
Sean Duffy, the new head of NASA, believes a lunar reactor is essential for supporting a future lunar economy and establishing a permanent presence on the moon.
China and Russia have also set their sights on building a nuclear reactor on the moon, leading to a three-way race with the US targeting 2036.
