The U.S. Army on Tuesday unveiled the Janus Program, a more than six year effort by the Army and the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Unit with the goal of developing and constructing hundreds of state-of-the-art small nuclear reactors to power military bases across the United States, according to the Wall Street Journal. The reactors, dubbed microreactors by the Army, will generate less than 20 megawatts of electricity, enough to power a small town or base, and will be small enough to be transported by either ship or aircraft to remote military locations overseas, such as islands in the Pacific. Secretary of the Army Daniel P. Driscoll stated that they hope to have the first reactors operational at bases across the country by September 2028.

MEGAWATT IN A BOX? This high-temperature gas reactor being developed by @RadiantNuclear could be a potential replacement for diesel generators. Radiant is one of two companies selected to test its fueled reactor experiment in DOME — the world’s first microreactor test bed.
