In response to the inadequate power supply of existing military generators and the vulnerabilities of the electrical grid, the United States is accelerating the deployment of military micro nuclear reactors through the Janus Program. The U.S. Energy Secretary emphasized that this energy solution will become a core support for operations across all sectors. In this project, the military will provide uranium fuel, while the ownership and operation of the reactors will be the responsibility of commercial entities like BWX Technologies Inc. Currently, the U.S. military's largest portable generator has an output power of approximately 800 kilowatts. Although this power is sufficient to support critical systems, changing weaponry and radar technologies are driving the need for higher power levels. The aging and stressed electrical grid has raised significant concerns regarding energy supply, particularly with risks of energy disruptions from cyberattacks and other malicious acts. What’s the solution? Advancing nuclear energy deployment based on Project Pele to achieve significant breakthroughs. The newly announced Janus Program aims to equip military bases with microreactors by 2028. These small reactors are transportable by truck or aircraft and can generate up to 20 megawatts of electricity. More importantly, they do not require frequent fuel replacements, enabling energy savings and supporting logistics for remote areas. The core objective of the program is to ensure that the U.S. military remains combat-ready at all times both domestically and in remote locations and to achieve 24/7 continuous operations for critical facilities at military bases. “Energy is not just a sector in the economy but a core area that supports the operations of all sectors,” said U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright at the annual meeting of the Association of the U.S. Army in Washington. “Ultimately, in the not-so-distant future, you will be able to deploy a reactor at a forward operating base that generates megawatts of power without the need for fuel resupply or maintenance, running continuously for years or even decades.” Who will benefit from this? While the U.S. Army and the Energy Department will supply uranium fuel for the program, the ownership and operation of the microreactors will be handled by commercial entities. This opens the market for BWX Technologies Inc. (BWXT.US) and other nuclear energy companies—whose stock prices have surged over the past year. If the program progresses smoothly, small nuclear reactors may eventually gain authorization to serve other sectors, such as powering data centers that drive the artificial intelligence revolution and have high energy demands.
