>>6316030QM: my apologies argh, a few things I forgot
TOTAL TRL is +20
-You gain +4 TRL from this anon's detailed ISRU analysis ^_^
>>6316003>>6316014You can give this design a name, ISRU Lunar Refiner?
-You gain +3 TRL from the use of the Q-UGV (really only from using it to shoot things). However, more importantly because you removed Directive 3000.09 or human-in-the-loop, you can now make any spacecraft autonomous (includes retroactively the Mars cycler in transit, and your stuck in low orbit lunar cycler) What this means is you can issue it some vague command and it will generally follow it, eg "guard Mars" "find water on Mars" etc.
-You gain +3 TRL from the uranium retrieval.
To make it suitable for use in a nuclear reactor requires some further research.
>Roll 1d100>less than 3% : you have some irradiated rocks>3-5% LEU>5-20% HALEU / TRISO, high assay low enriched uranium, microreactor >20% and above HEU, up to weapons grade. Some AUKUS submarines are claimed at 93-97%https://www.imarest.org/resource/in-depth-the-mighty-benefits-of-nuclear-reactors-in-submarines.htmlIf you roll higher, you can volunteer to downblend your fuel
eg HEU to HALEU ...
...BUT the amount you can downblend is limited by your research phase B technical ability... only 15 points!
You believe enrichment to 60% and above, that achieved by Iran, will incur a VERY strong international reaction
