on big problem with this plan is the need to launch nuclear material to space, can they accept the risk of launch failure? if the rocket blow up midway it can spray nuclear material over a huge area.

well we can always use the nuclear fuel that is stable. not all fuel are dangerous in its normal form.

just that the problem of shipping it there and then processing it on the moon. haha there are so many obstacles that i can think off.

there is already technology to use non radioactive material to create nuclear reaction?
