ENERGY READY FOR THE SPACE FORCE!!
"The testing of KRUSTY represents the first time the United States has conducted ground tests on any space reactor since the SNAP-10A experimental reactor was tested and eventually flown in 1965.
During November 2017 through March 2018, testing of KRUSTY was conducted at Nevada National Security Site. The tests included thermal, materials, and component validation, and culminated in a successful fission trial at full-power. Various faults in the supporting equipment were simulated to ensure the reactor could respond safely.
The KRUSTY reactor was run at full power on March 20, 2018"
"President Donald Trump first suggested a Space Force during a speech in March 2018"
