Three Companies Advance in Military Nuclear Power Initiative
The Department of the Air Force has selected three companies to potentially develop and operate nuclear microreactors at military installations in Texas, Colorado, and Montana. Antares Nuclear, Radiant Industries, and Westinghouse Government Services will proceed with design work for the Advanced Nuclear Power for Installations (ANPI) program, which aims to enhance national security by strengthening the Department of Defense’s energy sources. The program could provide a reliable energy source for critical missions and reduce the risk of power outages. The Air Force announced the selection in a press release, as reported by Breaking Defense.
