US Army Plans Nuclear Microreactors at Five Bases to Enhance Energy Resilience
The US Army announced plans to install nuclear microreactors at five military bases nationwide to ensure reliable power independent of the commercial grid. Five companies may receive up to $2.2 billion over five years to build and operate over 20 microreactors if they meet milestones. The initiative, part of the Army's Janus Program, aims to transition advanced reactor designs from prototypes to long-term use, enhancing energy resilience for critical infrastructure and military operations.
