The Moon and the Earth are both planets with the same geological features. Therefore, nuclear resources are available on the Moon as well. The reserves of nuclear resources of the Earth are estimated at 103 to 104 Q. If the ratio of nuclear energy resources on the Moon is the same as that of the Earth, the resources on the Moon will be 102 to 103 Q. Accordingly, the Moon itself will be the supply source of fuels for the nuclear reactor on the Moon. Energy supply from the Moon will be possible for thousands of years. Survey robots will be used to find nuclear resources, and excavation and other types of robots will collect them for processing at lunar nuclear fuel supply plants. Power Transmitting/Receiving System In the LEP system, energy is transmitted from the Moon to relay satellites to the Earth. The power transmitting and receiving system is shown in figure 4. During the transmitting and receiving course, energy conversion is conducted many times, and therefore conversion efficiency is a top-priority task for realization of the LEP system. A conversion efficiency of 30% will be the final target.
