I'm sorry to bring this whole thread up again to the front-page...but I think you have your answer. Ed could have replied to you and didn't. By skip such a simple reply to your reasonable question I think it's clear no such links exist.
The old and defunked Mars reference mission I believe specified a 100 kilowatt nuclear reactor as a baseline for each Hab. This was because the DOE was planning a 100 kilowatt reactor not because that was the amount of power needed. Newer RTG could substitute I believe for some of this power and probably make more sense in some ways. It's also clear solar voltaic systems would work well on Mars with the ability to clean dust off them. So all this repeated handwaving over radioactive disasters in Florida of Ed's is typical of him.
