Compact Nuclear Power Expands Across Military Bases
The US Army has launched the Janus program, aiming to develop and deploy microreactors at five of its bases. The program, which has allocated up to $2.2 billion between 2027 and 2031, seeks to test industrial solutions tailored to the specific energy requirements of each facility. This initiative is part of a broader effort to expand the use of compact nuclear power across the military, with the US Navy also announcing a microreactor project at Naval Weapons Station Crane, Indiana. The program was first reported by an unknown source.
