US Army awards five firms up to $2.2 billion for on-base nuclear microreactors
The Army's Janus programme will see Westinghouse, Antares Nuclear and three other contractors compete to build microreactors on US installations. Westinghouse's eVinci will power Fort Drum, New York; Antares takes Fort Bragg. The programme aims for 20 units total, addressing growing power needs and critical energy vulnerabilities. Deliveries are years out.
Why it matters: European allies watching closely: resilient on-base power generation is both a capability enabler and a tactical logistics hedge that NATO infrastructure east of the Rhine lacks.
