US Plans to Build Nuclear Microreactors at Bases in NY, Texas, and Three Other States
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The U.S. Army announced plans to build micro nuclear reactors at five military bases across New York, Texas, and three other states. This initiative aims to provide a reliable energy source independent of the commercial power grid. The Army has selected five companies to receive up to $2.2 billion over five years for the reactors, which can operate for years without refueling. The program, named Janus, seeks to advance nuclear energy technology for military and civilian use. Officials emphasize the reactors' resilience in critical infrastructure, while critics raise concerns about costs and safety. The Army expects to have reactors operational by 2028.
