Pentagonul a contractat cinci companii să instaleze microreactoare nucleare la baze militare din SUA

The U.S. military has contracted five companies to develop micro nuclear reactors for military bases, with a budget of up to $2.2 billion. These reactors, capable of generating up to 20 megawatts each, aim to provide energy to isolated installations. The first reactor is expected to be installed by September 2028. While the program is seen as a way to reduce energy costs, critics argue that microreactors may be more expensive than conventional ones. The Army will regulate these reactors, ensuring they meet safety and environmental standards.
