US, Russia and China race to put nuclear reactors on the Moon
Original: Why are US, Russia and China racing to put nuclear reactors on the moon?
The United States, Russia and China are all working on plans to deploy nuclear reactors on the Moon, raising questions about what is driving the competition. Analysts point to the need for reliable power during the lunar night, longer-term ambitions for permanent Moon bases, and geopolitical rivalry over lunar territory and resources as key factors behind the parallel efforts.
Why now: A new push by all three powers to power Moon bases with nuclear energy has sparked debate over the strategic and scientific motives.
