Sean Duffy to announce detailed plans for nuclear reactor on moon by 2030

According to media reports, Transport Secretary Sean Dafi will announce plans to create a nuclear reactor on the moon this week.

NASA has discussed the manufacture of a reactor on the lunar surface, but the direction of Dafi gives a more certain timeline and accelerates the process. Duffy also serves as an interim administrator of the space agency.

“Fisher Surface Power (FSP) is a necessary and durable segment of lunar and mars power architecture for future human space exploration missions,” says instructions. “The future lunar economy to properly pursue this important technique, to support high power energy production on Mars, and to strengthen our national security in space, it is necessary that the agency moves quickly.”

NASA said that China and Russia on several occasions have announced a joint effort to place a reactor on the moon by the mid -2013. If successful, it would probably be a result in the declaration of “shell-out zone”, which can prevent the United States from establishing the presence there.

Dafi recently said on “Hanniti”, “There are very specific areas of the moon which are important that those who first reach there get their flag to put their flag.” “We know that Chinese also want to reach there, so speed is essence.”

The move means that the input in NASA nuclear development will continue, despite the cancellation of a joint program on the nuclear-managed rocket engines by the Pentagon.

The agency will need to solve proposals for a 100 kW nuclear reactor to launch by 2030, when China intends to put a man on the moon, within 60 days of instructions.

Dafi talked with Fox News how the aim of NASA’s Artemis program is to return to the Moon for Americans.

“We’re going to set up a base camp,” said Dafi. “And what we learn on the moon is going to take us to Mars.”

Dafi also issued another instruction to quickly change the international space station, which is a priority for NASA. The agency plans to reward at least two companies, preferably three out of three, a contract within six months of the agency request for proposals.

The International Space Station was launched in class 1998. At that time, the US agreed for peaceful use of the orbital laboratory with many other countries including Russia, Japan, Canada and 11 European countries.

China was excluded from the plan.
