IAEA provides updates on Iran nuclear facilities
Today, the American Nuclear Society issued a press release joining the International Atomic Energy Agency’s calls for maximum military restraint around nuclear power plants and civilian research reactors.
This press release comes as the ongoing conflict in the Middle East primarily involving Iran, Israel, and the United States continues to rapidly evolve and intensify. As is the case with many armed conflicts, the confirmation of each reported update from multiple—and often contradictory—sources comes with significant difficulties. However, IAEA reporting sheds significant light on the current state of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
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.
