A British company will build a nuclear reactor for human settlement on the moon

To make human habitation on the moon possible, the British company prepared to build a nuclear reactor. Rolls-Royce was awarded 2.9 million pounds by the British Space Agency for the project.

It is a long-standing dream of scientists to make human settlement on the moon possible. To turn this dream into a reality, scientists are engaged in research day and night with the support of governments and various international organizations. The provision of funds of about three million pounds by the British government is also a link in this chain.

The British Space Agency has released funding for the development of a nuclear reactor after a £250,000 study last year to enable the construction of a base for human habitation on the moon.

Rolls-Royce engineers and scientists are working on the microreactor program, which aims to test how nuclear energy could be used to build a permanent base on the moon in the future.

Company experts expect the microreactor to provide the energy needed for long-term human stays on the moon, communication links and experiments there.

Rolls-Royce has set a target of 2029 for microreactor production. In addition to Oxford, the company has also hired experts from Bangor, Sheffield and the University of Brighton for the project.

The British Minister of Science, while expressing his opinion about this project, said that this project is another proof of Britain being a great power on the scientific front.

British Space Agency Chief Executive Dr. Paul Bett said that Rolls-Royce’s progress will lay the foundation for ensuring a permanent human presence on the moon. Along with this, the country’s space sector will also expand and employment opportunities will also be created here.
