Next year, a team of top scientists will hunker down inside a classified facility in the nevada desert so they can experiment with a piece of advanced technology. paul joncich the test will focus on a Small Nuclear reactor and if it works as planned, it could be a huge step toward putting humans on mars. The iteams george knapp was given the exclusive details. Damon has one heck of a time surviving and getting around in the harsh environment of the red planet. Scientists and engineers think that getting to mars, and establishing a base, will require a better power system than what was shown in the film. Patrick mcclure Los Alamos National lab mars is in the air. We grew up with the apollo program. We really want to make that happen in our lifetime. We think it would be a great contribution to humanity. Members, los alamos Nuclear Reactor scientist Patrick Mcclure is bubbling with enthusiasm about the end uses for the Small Nuclear reactor his team will test in the nevada desert in 2017. The reactor is named kilopower. The experiment is dubbed krusty, and yes, its an acronym named for the character in the simpsons tv show. But the goals are all too serious. The experiment will take place in the Device Assembly facility, security site. The krusty reactor will produce up to ten kilowatts of electricity, which may not sound like much on earth but could mean life or death out there. Mcclure so we can use it for deep space or the martian surface, and the idea is to build that reactor for future nasa missions. We have a power source that can range in missions, whether thats to the icy moons of jupiter and saturn, or Something Like encephalus or titan, or to actually provide power on mars, to make fuel, to make oxygen for a Small Nuclear reactors could power the habitats that form a Permanent Base on mars and charge up the rovers that could carry earthlings on martian expeditions. Mike houts Nasa Marshall Space Flight Center theres no new physics required. No giant mysteries to solve. Its very doable. Mike houts is the nuclear outfits involved in the krusty experiment. In addition to developing Nuclear Reactors as mobile Power Sources on the ground, he thinks the same technology could act like a turbocharger for spacecraft bound for mars or beyond. Mike houts the idea behind nuclear thermopropulsion is to try and get the astronauts to mars very quickly. That of course reduces their exposure to galactic cosmic radiation, exposure to microgravity, any of the other hazards associated with deep space travel. Might need to run only two hours to achieve enough velocity for a quick trip to mars. The surface Power Systems could operate for years. The device for krusty, about the size of an oatmeal box, is being built at oakridge lab. The nevada members of the team say hosting the experiment here is a perfect fit. For one, theres no cost to build a new facility,. And two, the Nevada Test Site is where Nuclear Rocket engines were successfully stands. President kennedy championed the project and visited the site a year before he died. Darwin morgan dept. Of energy it could have happened. You could have Nuclear Powered rockets taking people to mars by now. That would be the reality of this. Mike houts definitely, in the 2030s, we will have the technology and the capability to go to mars. Patrick mcclure this is exciting stuff. We like it. George knapp 8 news now. The exact date for the experiment isnt set but we will keep you posted. On our website, we have more information about the krusty project, and a link to an iteam report about president kennedys visit to the nerva project at the Nevada Test Site. paul joncich Christianne Klein 8 news now at five starts after this.
