Euratom and the use of nuclear energy to power lunar basis

Original language description

Very recently, the USA, the United Kingdom, the Russian Federation, and Chinahave announced their plans to deploy their lunar nuclear programme, refl ecting a signifi cantglobal interest in the technology of small modular reactors. Th ese reactors are envisaged toplay a decisive role in the energy of the future, marking a substantial shift in our approach tospace exploration. At the same time, the envisaged plans for nuclear activities on the Moonrepresent a part of the renewed interest in the use of space, which has been referred to as theNew Space Era. With respect to the increasing lunar aspirations worldwide, the questionarises of a place in Europe for these endeavours. Th is Article addresses the potential role ofthe European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) in the New Space Era. In the fi rstplace, the Article identifi es arguments against and for the future involvement of Euratomin lunar activities. Further, the Article addresses those fi elds where Euratom may be capableof facilitating a prospective deployment of a nuclear reactor to power the lunar base, such asresearch, nuclear safety, and compensation for potential damages, making the audience feelpart of a larger, signifi cant movement in the fi eld of space energy and nuclear technology.
