The company says that every uranium particle in the reactor is covered with multiple protective layers that act as a special barrier system that enables it to withstand adverse conditions.
A new direction of nuclear engines for space
Almost all British and American agencies see fission engines and lunar reactors as a step towards reaching and exploring Mars. While NASA wants to demonstrate its system in 2027, Rolls-Royce wants to release its small reactor in 2028 and launch it in 2030. In our previous article NASA and DARPAWe have mentioned that, it is also working on many nuclear rocket engine projects.
