NASA Nuclear Reactor on the Moon by 2030
(upload August 06, 2025)
US-American space agency NASA plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon by 2030 – but it’s not alone.
China and Russia plan to build a nuclear power plant on the moon to power their joint lunar research station.
I'm always up for new ideas and energy recovery.
But this sounds like Moon War I. -

And what has light refraction to do with a nuclear reactor, you wannabe expert?
Go back to your AI quote OP and play with Sophie-mousy.

Whose territory is the moon?
And there goes the Earth.
Sorry, I've no idea what the current
lunar-claim-staking
situation is.
A few years ago, you could buy paper shares in the moon from shady businessmen. -

Don’t forget the moon pearls.
Oh ok, you're a gamer.
I didn't know what moon perls are.
Only knew Moonstone…and some other Moon related stuff.

Whose territory is the moon?
Meanwhile watched another video in my language.
Basis for taking possession of extraterrestrial territories is the
Outer Space Treaty
from 1967 (OST).
According to this treaty nobody/no country can own outer space areas.
BUT: You can
'secure'
an area for different reasons, especially science.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty
Currently, everyone targets the lunar south pole because water (as ice) could be there.
Water is also needed for the nuclear reactors.
Maybe I'm just in my pessimistic
glass-half-empty
mode.
Listening to all this, the old saying came to mind:
"No contract is so good that it cannot be broken." -

obviously the size of such a reactor will be tiny, since the difficulty in not only getting to the moon is large but building is damn near impossible. i'm guessing a compact " turnkey" system…. but im also worried that Trump will award the contract to the usual ineptoids who surround him like sharks feeding on bait fish, and a nuclear incident a la the campy british tv series, Space: 1999

Yah, there's enough space on the moon for
ALL
of
US
.
USA
races China 
& Russia 
with Nuclear Plan
That's pure science, nothing else!

Nuclear reactors melt down. They don't explode like in Space 1999.
The reactor core can blow up if the relief valves fail shut but it wouldn't be enough to do much physical damage. It would release a lot of radioactive particles, though.
