US and DOE Collaborate on Lunar Nuclear Reactor Deployment by 2030

The US, China, and Russia are teaming up to establish remote posts on the moon using nuclear reactors as the primary energy supply. The US has announced plans to deploy a lunar reactor by 2030, while the DOE and NASA have signed an MOU to collaborate on deploying reactors on the moon. The project faces unique challenges due to the low gravity and surface temperature swings on the moon. Companies like BWXT, Westinghouse, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman may benefit from this new venture.
