A new federal program aims to reduce military bases' reliance on public power grids. The program will provide funding to build and operate small nuclear reactors. Government funding of up to $2.2 billion will be awarded, alongside private sector investment.

This initiative is expected to lead to the construction of more than 20 microreactors across military installations. The goal is to provide uninterrupted power directly to these bases.

Further details about the program and its implementation are available from the source, including information about the selected vendors and participating military installations, such as Fort Benning.
