How the Pentagon Is Buying Nuclear Reactors Like a Utility

from The Defense Tech Podcast with Fexingo: Government Contracting, Aerospace, and Military Tech · host Fexingo

The Pentagon is quietly placing bets on small modular nuclear reactors to power remote bases and data centers. Lucas and Luna break down the specific numbers behind a new Department of Defense contract for microreactor development, how this flips decades of nuclear procurement, and why the same tech could reshape civilian energy grids. They also look at how the market is reacting — with defense stocks like LMT and NOC down slightly this week, but nuclear-focused initiatives drawing serious internal funding. If you run a business or build things, this episode shows how military energy buying patterns might preview a broader industrial shift. #NuclearReactors #Pentagon #DefenseTech #SmallModularReactors #Microreactors #EnergyProcurement #LMT #NOC #NuclearEnergy #DepartmentOfDefense #MilitaryTech #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DefenseContracting #CleanEnergy #GridResilience Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
