The U.S. military and NASA have power problems. Nuclear microreactors might solve both | Fortune

Microreactores nucleares “de próxima generación” se están acelerando in part by the U.S. military and NASA as the government aims to bring new power sources to remote bases, future combat support, and deep-space exploration. The article says the federal government is stepping up funding to support deploying microreactors on domestic military bases by 2028, with possible expansion to harsher locations and eventually lunar sites. In June, Antares’ Mark-0 microreactor reached criticality. Antares plans to install its 1-megawatt R1 reactor at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, by September 2028, and aims for an R1-S on the moon around 2030 after a $161 million Department of Defense award.
