US Air Force selects microreactor companies for bases

The U.S. Air Force has chosen three companies to develop and install nuclear microreactors, signaling a significant move towards advanced fission power for military installations. This decision reflects a growing interest in microreactor technology as a reliable and potentially secure energy source to meet increasing electricity demands at bases. The initiative highlights a broader trend of exploring next-generation energy solutions within government and defense sectors, potentially paving the way for wider adoption of small modular reactors.
