**Helium-3 Mining and Energy Production on the Moon**

Helium-3 is a rare isotope of helium that is almost nonexistent on Earth but abundant in lunar soil (regolith) due to billions of years of exposure to solar wind.

It can be used in nuclear fusion reactions to produce clean energy without generating harmful radioactive waste Unlike traditional nuclear fusion (deuterium-tritium), Helium-3 fusion does not produce dangerous neutron radiation, making it much safer.

Helium-3 is embedded in the top layers of lunar soil (about 20 parts per billion).

Robotic mining machines will heat the regolith to **600-700°C** to release trapped gases, including Helium-3.

The extracted gases are filtered and separated, concentrating Helium-3 for use in fusion reactors.

Maglev trains or lunar drones transport Helium-3 to fusion energy facilities like those in New Berlin.

1 ton of Helium-3 generates around 10,000 megawatt-years of energy—enough to power an entire city for a year.

AI-controlled energy grids optimize power distribution to underground cities and space traffic control centers.

New Berlin is now the heart of the lunar energy revolution, making the Moon not just a colony but the power station of the future.
