"Seriously considering": The Russian Federation with the help of China plans to build a nuclear power plant on the moon (video)

According to Yuri Borisov, the head of Roscosmos, solar panels do not produce enough electricity for future monthly settlements. But the energy of the atom is enough. The head of the Russian Space Agency "Roscosmos" Yuri Borisov stated that Moscow and Beijing "are considering" the construction of a nuclear power plant on the surface of the moon. The project can be launched in 2033-35. This was reported by "Izvestia".

Russia and China are working on a joint monthly program and hope that this project will give you a month. "Today we are seriously considering the project," he said. In the period 2033-2035, it is planned to deliver and install an energy plant with Chinese colleagues. According to Borisov, solar panels do not produce enough electricity for future monthly settlements, but the energy of the atom is enough.

According to him, this is a serious challenge, and everything should happen in automated mode, without the presence of a person. Borisov also spoke about the plans for the construction of a spacecraft on nuclear fuel. According to him, all technical questions regarding this project have already been resolved, except for the way to cool the reactor.

It is reported that a huge, cyclopic look, the design thanks to a nuclear reactor and powerful turbines will be able to carry considerable load from one orbit to another, collect space debris and participate in other tasks. Recall that the first Russian mission for the month in the last 47 years has failed last year. The device "Luna-25" came out of control and crashed. It was also reported that Beijing declares plans to send the first Chinese astronaut for the month until 2030.
