The U.S. Army has selected five vendors and five military installations to develop and operate nuclear microreactors under the Janus Program. The project, partnering with the Defense Innovation Unit, allocates up to $2.2 billion in funding to deliver reliable nuclear power, enhancing energy resilience and supporting global military operations. Selected vendors include Antares Nuclear Inc. at Fort Bragg, BWXT Advanced Technologies LLC at Fort Campbell, General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems at Fort Hood, Radiant Industries Inc. at Fort Benning, and Westinghouse Government Services at Fort Drum. The initiative aims to reduce reliance on external grids and advance nuclear technology for military use. Vendors will receive payments based on technical milestones, with prototypes owned and operated by contractors. The Army plans to expand to additional sites, targeting operational reactors by September 2028 as outlined in Executive Order 14299.
