Reply to comment by Gari_305 in Rolls-Royce go-ahead to build a nuclear reactor on Moon - Scientists and engineers are working on the micro-reactor programme that will help humans to live and work on Earth's natural satellite by Gari_305

>> £2.9 million of new funding for the project which will deliver an initial demonstration of a UK lunar modular nuclear reactor

That seems unlikely unless Rolls Royce is putting a lot of funding on their own.

I hate when articles don't make sense and the writer/reporter can't be bothered to clarify.

You literally couldn't put a photograph of a nuclear reactor on the moon for that.

Nobody is suggesting that the quoted cost is to build a reactor on the moon. The money is to make and demonstrate a prototype on Earth.
