Safety Assessment Study in Nanoscopic Circumstances for an Accidental Cooling Loop Failure (ACLF) in a Lunar Nuclear Power Reactor (LNPR) - Atomic Nanoscale Technology in the Nuclear Industry - page 49

The. characteristics. of. SD. using. feedback. and. accumulation. can. success-
fully. express. the. uncertainty. in. space,. which. is. extremely. different. from.
Earth. conditions,. because. of. very. low. gravity. and. nonatmospheric. situa-
tions..That.is,.feedback.and.accumulation.of.information.allow.much.more.
reliable.decision.making,.especially.in.space.where.information.on.events.is.
very.limited..Real-time.simulation.is.possible.with.the.time.step,.and.cannot.
be.done.by.conventional.methods.
For.future.work,.it.is.necessary.to.analyze.the.reactor.core.and.the.turbine.
in.space..Although.there.is.no.completed.master.LNPR.plant,.this.study.can.
address. the. safety. considerations. of. possible. future. NPP. on. the. Moon.. In.
addition,. other. facilities. such. as. buildings. on. the. Moon. could. be. modeled.
using. SD. management.. A. lunar. city. can. be. assessed. for. safety. in. several.
facilities. like. the. project. in. Boston. that. was. performed. a. half-century. ago.
(Forrester. 1969).. Fundamentally,. the. form. of. the. power. plant. is. similar. to.
those.on.Earth..The.general.air.iltering.plants.are.examples.of.assessments.
for.a.new.city.on.the.Moon.
