I know nothing about that. But it sounds sci-fi enough for me to like the idea.

I honestly don't think it is.

Fall out is not the problem with nuclear energy. Modern nuclear power plants don't work like the one in Chernobyl, so there's no need to worry about that.

But you do need uranium for the reactor. You can't ship enough uranium from earth to make it worth it. You'd have to find uranium on Mars, and then you need to dig it up. Which means you need to start a mining operation. There's just not enough resources to make it viable.

Nuclear power is not free energy, it's incredibly expensive, and a nuclear power plant on mars would be even more expensive. It's just not worth it. Oh, and you need water to cool the reactor. Not much water on Mars, eh?

Good luck building a nuclear power plant on mars, it takes like 5-10 years. There are smaller ones of course, but it would still take a very long time since no one's there to build it.

Then you need water to cool the reactor, and there's not much water on Mars. And where do you get all the uranium from? There might be uranium on Mars, but then you need to dig it up. So you need to start a mining facility.

Fall out is not really a problem with modern nuclear energy. It's all the hassle to keep it running which makes it not worth it. Also, it's incredibly expensive. The maintenance would simply be a nightmare.

Half-breeds!
