The necessity of studying the Moon as an important source of nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants is considered. The work takes into account the geomorphological conditions of the celestial body and the basic biological needs of man. Of particular interest is the problem of fruit and vegetable production on the lunar base. This is necessary to provide the inhabitants of the lunar base with vitamins. In addition, plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and create an additional comfortable psychological environment. Experiments carried out in space have confirmed the possibility of growing fruit on the International Space Station (the harvest was more than 15 kg of tomatoes and 6 kg of red pepper). Taking into account the experimental results on growing vegetables on the International Space Station, a simulation of the structure of the lunar base was carried out. The strength and resistance of the structure to various influences have been calculated. Areas for planting agricultural crops have been determined, a possible harvest has been determined and the improvement of conditions for human habitation at the lunar base has been substantiated.
