It would contaminate the lunar atmosphere with radioactive gases and sprinkle the moon's surface with radioactive debris. Almost as bad would be the big, backward-pushing retrorockets that would be needed to bring a small packet of instruments to a soft landing on the moon; they would require the release of so much burned fuel that the moon's tenuous atmosphere would never be the same again...
Even more interesting to scientists than the moon's atmosphere is the dust that is believed to cover much of its surface. CETEX does not think that anything short of a nuclear explosion would directly contaminate the dust. CETEX'S concern is more subtle.
