https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/two-us-military-bases-getting-nuclear-microreactors-ps-041426In February, a Ward 250 5-megawatt nuclear reactor—small enough to fit inside a C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft—was delivered to Hill AFB, Utah, and then sent to the Utah San Rafael Energy Lab for testing and evaluation.
There is a separate program for Eielson Air Force BaseThe Department of the Air Force has confirmed the two future sites to be the first to receive nuclear microreactors under the Pentagon’s Advanced Nuclear Power for Installations (APNI) program. The DAF and Defense Innovation Unit announced last week that Buckley Space Force Base (SFB), Colorado, and Malmstrom Air Force Base (AFB), Montana, will serve as the initial test locations.
The Air Force had previously indicated that Eielson AFB, near Fairbanks, Alaska, was its preferred location for the microreactor pilot program. However, the DAF confirmed that the ANPI program “is separate from” that microreactor pilot program, which “is a stand-alone effort focused on demonstrating the feasibility and operational benefits of a microreactor at a single installation.” In other words, Eielson AFB may yet receive its microreactor in addition to Buckley and Malmstrom.
