It is 'designed to use an inherently safe and extremely robust fuel form.'
Rolls-Royce revealed a new image of a micro-reactor for space that it says is "designed to use an inherently safe and extremely robust fuel form."alongside a caption. It is designing the nuclear fission system as part of an agreement it penned with the UK Space Agency in 2021.Nuclear propulsion systems for space, which harness the energy produced during the splitting of atoms, have great potential for accelerating space travel and reducing transit times.
"Each uranium particle is encapsulated in multiple protective layers that act as a containment system, allowing it to withstand extreme conditions," Rolls-Royce wrote alongside the image of its micro-nuclear reactor design. Scientists and large organizations are increasingly looking at nuclear fission for space. Last month, for example, NASA and DARPAA Rolls-Royce Micro-Reactor is designed to use an inherently safe and extremely robust fuel form. Each uranium particle is encapsulated in multiple protective layers that act as a containment system, allowing it to withstand extreme conditions.
