Antares Secures $470M for Military Nuclear Power | Business and Finance News

Antares just landed a $470 million funding boost to build compact nuclear reactors for U.S. military bases — a major win signaling big investor confidence in next-gen nuclear tech. With AI data centers and electrification driving up energy demand, Antares’ reactor can power 750 homes and uses safer fuel. Their prototype hit criticality at Idaho National Lab, and they’re a Pentagon finalist aiming to deploy reactors by 2028.
