Nuclear power in space
The geopolitics of space that once brought humanity together under the International Space Station (ISS) is overshadowed by ongoing international conflicts and systemic competition. In this context, could the European Union leverage on its knowledge and expertise on nuclear technology to have a say in the future of space?
The EU has the capacity to step up its development and to benefit from large synergies with European nuclear research and industrial infrastructure. The US, China and Russia are bringing forward ambitious research and development initiatives aiming to obtain critical geostrategic competitive advantages in space for research, defence and industry.
