2026年8月27日，美国陆军宣布将向五家公司授予总计22亿美元（17亿欧元）的合同，用于在军事基地建设和运营小型核微反应堆1。该项目名为“Janus”，旨在为军事设施提供安全可靠的基载电力，减少对外部电网的依赖，并为未来商业化核微反应堆产品铺路1。美国陆军的目标是在2028年9月底前部署首座反应堆1。
获得合同的五家公司及其对应的军事基地分别为：Antares Nuclear（布拉格堡）、BWXT Advanced 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。每座核微反应堆可提供高达20兆瓦的电力1。这些反应堆将由美国陆军而非美国核管理委员会进行监管1。在放射性废物处理方面，美国陆军正与能源部合作处理放射性废物，确保不在基地内进行长期储存1。
美国陆军部长丹·德里斯科尔（Dan Driscoll）表示，该项目将加速向军事设施提供安全可靠的基载电力1。美国陆军负责设施、能源与环境的助理部长帮办杰夫·瓦克斯曼（Jeff Waksman）指出，该项目旨在降低核微反应堆的成本1。此外，特朗普总统于2025年5月签署了一项旨在加速核能发展的行政令，呼吁将美国核能产量翻两番1。
The US Army announced on August 27, 2026, that it will award a total of $2.2 billion (1.7 billion euros) in contracts to five companies to build and operate small nuclear microreactors at military bases 1. The initiative, named Project Janus, aims to deploy the first reactor by the end of September 2028 1. Each microreactor is capable of generating up to 20 megawatts of power, providing secure and reliable baseload electricity to military facilities while reducing their reliance on external power grids 1. The participating companies include Antares Nuclear at Fort Bragg, BWXT Advanced 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 microreactors will be regulated by the US Army rather than the Nuclear Regulatory Commission 1. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll stated that the project will accelerate the capability to deliver safe and reliable baseload power to military installations 1. Additionally, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment Jeff Waksman noted that the initiative is designed to lower the costs of nuclear microreactors and pave the way for future commercial products 1. The Army is also collaborating with the Department of Energy to manage radioactive waste, ensuring that no long-term storage will occur on the bases 1. This development follows an executive order signed by President Trump in May 2025 to accelerate nuclear energy development and quadruple US nuclear energy output 1.
