; Whereas floating nuclear barges are being designed and developed to supply energy to remote locations and areas impacted by a natural disaster; Whereas the advantages of using advanced nuclear propulsion include long intervals between refueling, faster transit speeds, production of heat or cooling for cargo, reduced draft allowing increased cargo capacity, eliminating the need to transport huge quantities of engine fuel, and reducing the probability of environmental damage from fuel leakages; Whereas nuclear thermal propulsion and nuclear electric propulsion vehicles are to be made at one-third to one-half the size of comparable chemical propulsion vehicles, which would increase travel speeds and cut costs of space missions; Whereas nuclear thermal propulsion can be used to transport astronauts and cargo to Mars in 4 to 5 months, rapidly decreasing long term radiation exposure in space, as opposed to 7 to 9 months using traditional chemical fuels; Whereas the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and private companies are creating technologies that use advanced nuclear radioisotopes to channel heat into electricity, even in temperatures below -280º F on the lunar surface, for both manned and unmanned missions to Earth’s satellites, the Earth’s Moon, Mars, and deep space; Whereas NASA and the Department of Defense have programs in place to put a lunar nuclear reactor on the moon in the early 2030s to supply electricity for Artemis missions, since the lunar night is roughly 14 days and solar panels would not be able to generate power from the sun and energy storage is too large and costly; Whereas advanced lunar nuclear reactors can be used for future space missions to Mars, since Mars has dust storms that cover solar panels, rendering them useless, which recently led to the shut down of NASA’s Insight Mission after only 4 years; Whereas nuclear energy may be used to desalinate highly salty waters and industrial wastewater to ultimately produce multiuse potable water
