Nuke plant on the moon makes sense. Its not like a meltdown will harm the environment.

Will it use steam turbines?

They have to convert heat to mechanical energy...then electrical energy.

Any guesses?

A gas turbine with a closed cycle might be easier on the moon.

Would that amount of KW be enough to power my wifi?

Biden will no doubt take credit for this warp speed solution to our energy needs.

My dog has been digging there for years now, and hasn't found any 'nuclears.'

10kw is conservatively about one house.

not all the time, but running a lot of our electronics and heavier appliances can easily top 10kw.
