**(a) Shared Energy Savings Contracts.—**
(1) The Secretary of Defense shall develop a simplified method of contracting for shared energy savings contract services that will accelerate the use of these contracts with respect to military installations and will reduce the administrative effort and cost on the part of the Department of Defense as well as the private sector.
(2) In carrying out paragraph (1), the Secretary of Defense may—
(A) request statements of qualifications (as prescribed by the Secretary of Defense), including financial and performance information, from firms engaged in providing shared energy savings contracting;

TITLE 10—ARMED FORCES
§ 2912
(ii) pilot a transportable micro-reactor prototype;
(iii) direct an analysis of alternatives for personnel,
regulatory, and technical requirements to inform fu-
ture decisions with respect to nuclear power usage; and
(iv) direct an analysis of United States military uses
for space nuclear power and propulsion technologies
and an analysis of foreign adversaries’ space power and
propulsion programs.
SEC. 5. Space Exploration. (a) Nuclear power sources
that use uranium fuel or plutonium heat sources are es-
sential to deep space exploration and in areas where
solar power is not practical. NASA uses radioisotope
power systems, such as radioisotope thermoelectric
generators and radioisotope heater units, to provide
power and heat for deep space robotic missions. Nuclear
power sources in the kilowatt range may be needed for
demonstrating In-situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) and
robotic exploration of permanently shadowed craters
on the Moon that contain frozen water. Nuclear reac-
tors up to 100 kilowatts may be needed to support
human habitats, ISRU, other facilities, and rovers on
both the Moon and Mars. Power sources in the mega-
watt range would be necessary for efficient, long-dura-
tion deep space propulsion. Affordable, lightweight nu-
clear power sources in space would enable new opportu-
nities for scientific discovery. The sustainable explo-
ration of the Moon, Mars, and other locations will be
enhanced if small modular reactors can be deployed
and operated remotely from Earth.
(b) Within 180 days of the date of this order, the
NASA Administrator, in consultation with heads of
other executive departments and agencies (agencies),
as appropriate, shall define requirements for NASA uti-
lization of nuclear e
