The U.S. Army has announced plans to invest $2 billion in the construction of nuclear microreactors at five military bases, including Fort Drum, Fort Benning, and Fort Hood, as part of a broader push to enhance energy independence and ensure reliable power even during grid failures. The initiative involves collaboration with private industry as the Army taps five firms to develop these advanced energy solutions. With this program, the Army aims to bolster energy security for its operations while exploring next-generation nuclear technology that promises to deliver both power and resilience to strategic military installations across the country.
