A couple of excerpts from the article:

WASHINGTON — A budding effort between the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), Air Force and Army to shore up homeland installations with nuclear energy powered by microreactors is moving forward after the DoD determined eight vendors are now qualified to proceed with demonstrating the technology.


Under the Advanced Nuclear Power for Installations (ANPI) initiative, the DIU team aims to field nuclear microreactors that can support operations across domains by supplementing energy sources at DoD installations, whose power is typically drawn from commercial grids.

According to an April 10 announcement, eight different awardees have now been deemed eligible to offer designs under the ANPI program. Those companies are:

• Antares Nuclear, Inc
• BWXT Advanced Technologies LLC
• General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems
• Kairos Power, LLC
• Oklo Inc.
• Radiant Industries Incorporated
• Westinghouse Government Services
• X-Energy, LLC
