I know it is good to build nuclear power plants away from habitation, but this seems a bit impractical.

  I think the idea is there will be a habitat close by.

    The GP was a joke comment.

  How do you power e.g. a large (radio)telescope array on the Moon when it's on the dark side? It can be completely robot-controlled, but it would still need significant power.

    Pick a spot that's constantly lit with sunlight? https://www.nature.com/news/2007/071023/full/news.2007.182.html https://www.nature.com/news/2007/071023/full/news.2007.182.h...

      Might hinder the astronomy.

      Conflicting objectives, if you're trying to use the moon to block earthborn interference.

      Going to get pretty crowded at the poles, no?

    You would never build a large radio or optical telescope anywhere on the moon, when it’s far cheaper to build it in deep space.
