And just like that S.Korea just demonstrated ICBM and MIRV technology. Good on them. We should ask them to have Hyundai Heavy put nuclear reactors on floating offshore platforms like they already build for the oil industry. Big suckers 2000 megawatts each with desalination trains running off the low pressure turbine exhaust. Run a flexible HDPE pipe and triple phase HVAC along the seafloor to shore. Park a dozen off the California coast and three or four off Texas. Power grid solved and that pesky drought too. Every acre foot delivered to L.A.and San Diego is one less California can take from Lake Mead no need for pipelines over the mountains just stop.California from taking the water in the first place.
The Central Valley in California is getting dry. They need the water even if environmentalists would throw a fit about nuclear reactors.
This is what the Russians wanted to offer after the fall of the Soviet Union. They would park a nuclear powered old warship off shore and use the reactor to provide cheap electricity to places without reliable electricity. I don’t know if anyone took them up on the offer.
“And just like that S.Korea just demonstrated ICBM and MIRV technology.”
Only if you want to launch a first strike at a distant target. Liquid fueled ICBMs have been obsolete for decades.
Nuri is a three-stage launch vehicle. The first stage booster uses four KRE-075 SL engines generating 266.4 tons of thrust with a specific impulse of 289.1 seconds. The second stage booster uses a single KRE-075 Vacuum engine, which has a wider nozzle for increased efficiency in vacuum with a specific impulse of 315.4 seconds. The third stage booster uses one KRE-007 engine with a specific impulse of 325.1 seconds. Both engine models use Jet A as fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) as oxidizer.
