美国航天局计划到2025年在月球上发射一个核反应堆,目标是100千千瓦的发电。 NASA plans to launch a nuclear reactor on the moon by 2025, aiming for 100-kilowatt power output.

美国航天局计划在月球上发射一个核反应堆,以支持人类的长期占领,目标是100千千瓦的输出。 NASA plans to launch a nuclear reactor on the moon to support long-term human occupation, aiming for a 100-kilowatt output. 该反应堆将通过铀燃料的受控核反应产生热量,类似于以地球为基础的反应堆,但需要大型散热器因缺乏大气层而分散热量。 The reactor would generate heat through a controlled nuclear reaction in uranium fuel, similar to Earth-based reactors, but would require large radiators to dissipate heat due to the lack of an atmosphere. 该项目估计在五年内耗资30亿美元,在时间和潜在竞争方面面临着来自中国和俄罗斯的挑战。 The project, estimated to cost $3 billion over five years, faces challenges in timeline and potential competition from China and Russia.
