Would be cool if they managed to deploy a small reactor there, like they did at McMurdo station.

- sigmoid10 2y agoThe McMurdo reactor had so many problems, they shut it down prematurely and switched back to diesel generators, because that was cheaper and more reliable. Nuclear power is great for environmentally safe regions with large populations, but it sucks in remote areas with little infrastructure and no support.
- preisschild 2y agoThe PM-3As problems could probably have been solved with enough gained experience. I'm hopeful because the DoD plans a similar program like the PM-3A was to provide nuclear energy for military bases (project PELE)
