  1. Metal production requires massive amounts of power. Nuclear is the only way to get enough concentrated power. Kirk Sorensen rediscovered molten salt reactors while researching power for a moon base. Molten salt reactors are small and light. The moon has Thorium deposits making this type of nuke a no brainer. Even better molten salts can operate at very high temperatures cutting out the power generation altogether.
