Army Selects Microreactor Sites
2 sources · first reported 2h ago
The US Army has chosen Fort Drum and Fort Campbell as sites for microreactor deployments, with contracts awarded to Westinghouse and BWXT, respectively. The microreactors are part of the Janus program, aiming to provide on-base power. The selected reactors include a 20-megawatt nuclear reactor from BWXT for Fort Campbell.
Why it matters
The Janus program's microreactor deployments can enhance energy security and reduce reliance on external power sources for military bases, improving their operational resilience. This technology can also support the Army's modernization efforts by providing a reliable and efficient power source.
