美国陆军宣布，将在纽约至德克萨斯的五个军事基地增设核微反应堆，作为独立于商业电网的可靠能源 1。为增强军事设施的能源韧性并支持全球作战能力，五家企业将在五年内获得总计最高22亿美元资金，用于拥有、建造和运营预计超过20座核微反应堆 1。陆军部长丹·德里斯科尔（Dan Driscoll）表示，此举将加速向设施直接提供安全、可靠的基荷电力 1。每座反应堆将提供1兆瓦至20兆瓦电力，且核反应堆将由陆军而非美国核管理委员会许可 1。
该项目属于陆军去年启动的“Janus计划” 1。特朗普总统于2025年5月签署行政令加速核能开发，陆军被要求确保一座先进反应堆不晚于2028年9月30日在国内军事设施运行 1。五家入选企业分别为：Antares Nuclear（布拉格堡）、BWX Technologies（坎贝尔堡）、General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems（胡德堡）、Radiant Industries（本宁堡）以及Westinghouse Government Services（德拉姆堡） 1。
The U.S. Army has announced plans to construct nuclear microreactors at five military installations spanning from New York to Texas, aiming to provide reliable energy independent of the commercial power grid 1. Under the initiative, five companies will receive up to $2.2 billion in funding over five years to own, build, and operate more than 20 microreactors, a move designed to enhance energy resilience at military facilities and support global combat capabilities 1. Each reactor is expected to generate between 1 and 20 megawatts of electricity 1.
The selected contractors and their respective base locations include Antares Nuclear at Fort Bragg, BWX Technologies at Fort Campbell, General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems at Fort Hood, Radiant Industries at Fort Benning, and Westinghouse Government Services at Fort Drum 1. The nuclear reactors will be licensed by the Army rather than the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 1. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll stated that the effort will accelerate the delivery of safe, reliable baseload power directly to the facilities 1.
This deployment is part of Project Janus, which was launched by the Army last year 1. The initiative aligns with an executive order signed by President Trump in May 2025 to accelerate nuclear energy development 1. Furthermore, the Army has been directed to ensure that an advanced reactor is operational at a domestic military installation no later than September 30, 2028 1.
