Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

USNC-Technologies (USNC-Tech) is an advanced nuclear company focused on developing space nuclear power and propulsion systems to enable high-impact science missions and the growth of a self-sustaining in-space economy. As a subsidiary of Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC), USNC-Tech has leveraged the technologies and experience gains from the design, licensing, and deployment of terrestrial gas-cooled reactors for these space systems. The result is a family of reactor concepts and designs with shared technology bases able to meet near-term and long-term customer needs in the space arena. Key examples include the Pylon surface fission power reactor, the Ready 2 Demonstrate Technology On Orbit (R2DTOO) nuclear thermal propulsion reactor, and the chargeable atomic battery radioisotope heat source.
