- The reactor is part of the Lunar Fission Surface Power Project.
- Nuclear power can provide continuous energy during lunar nights and in areas with limited sunlight.
- Compact fission reactors can generate tens to hundreds of kilowatts for life support, laboratories, and industrial operations.
- Nuclear reactors can support lunar habitats, ice processing, and battery charging for mobility vehicles.
- Nuclear propulsion technologies include nuclear thermal and nuclear electric systems for deep-space missions.
