Army Deploys Nuclear Microreactors for Energy Resilience | US News

The U.S. Army is rolling out nuclear microreactors at five major bases nationwide, from New York to Texas, to create a resilient, grid-independent power source for national security. Part of the ambitious Janus Program, these reactors will run for years without refueling and support critical infrastructure—even during grid failures. With over twenty planned, five companies will build and operate them, blending federal funding with private investment. Designed to shut down safely and manage waste responsibly, they’ll supplement—not replace—the main grid, cutting reliance on diesel fuel in conflict zones. This marks a major leap toward energy independence, with the Army leading licensing efforts to eventually open the door for commercial use.
