Helium-3 mining on the moon: technically possible, economically questionable
The lunar resources are certainly there. According to the TU Clausthal around 20 parts per billion (ppb) of helium-3 were implemented in some areas of the regolith by the solar wind over several billion years. A Chinese study from 2010 put the total at around 66,000 tonnes. But a 2014 study by the Delft University of Technology came to a sobering conclusion: helium-3 would only have a chance against renewable energies such as wind and solar if its mining could, under ideal conditions, provide fuel for one to ten percent of the global energy supply. To do this, more than 1,500 mining robots would have to extract around 20 billion tons of regolith every year – 640 tons per second. Over 30 years,more than 350,000 tons of equipment would have to be transported to the moon,including power plant equipment with an output of almost 40 gigawatts.
Fusion research itself also faces challenges. The current reactors work with deuterium and tritium,although tritium will only be used in the coming years,starting in 2035 in the International thermonuclear Experimental
