‘Trash Can’ Nuclear Reactors Could Power Human Outpost On Moon Or Mars (via ScienceDaily)

NASA has made a series of critical strides toward the development of new nuclear reactors the size of a trash can that could power a human outpost on the moon or Mars.  Three recent tests at different NASA centers and a national lab have successfully demonstrated key technologies required for compact fission-based nuclear power plants for human settlements on other worlds…..
