Senate bill looks to clarify DOE authority over advanced reactors
Sen. Mike Lee (R., Utah), chair of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources (ENR), has introduced a bill that would grant the Department of Energy greater authority over new nuclear projects under the federal agency’s oversight.
NASA is working with the Department of Energy and industry to design and build a fission surface power system that will provide 40 kilowatts of power – enough to continuously run 30 households for 10 years. A future lunar demonstration will pave the way for applications on Earth and even base camps on the Moon and Mars.
