“The reactor itself may be about 1 feet wide by 2 feet high, about the size of a carry-on suitcase. There are no cooling towers. A fission power system is a compact, reliable, safe system that may be critical to the establishment of outposts or habitats on other planets. Fission power technology can be applied on Earth’s Moon, on Mars, or wherever NASA sees the need for continuous power.”
Dr. James E. Werner, discussing a backpack-sized nuclear reactor that NASA & DOE are working on for use in forward, long-term manned space operations. They expect to have a prototype within a year.
