Fort Benning Starts Site Planning For Three Janus Microreactors

Fort Benning has begun site surveys and planning with Army Janus Program partners for three prospective nuclear microreactors at the Georgia installation. Each unit is expected to provide roughly one megawatt of power, creating a potential three-megawatt on-base electrical supply connected to the existing installation network. The project aims to test resilient generation for essential military functions, with siting, safety, regulatory and technical integration work required before installation. Current activity concerns preliminary planning and engineering rather than reactor construction being finished or nuclear power already supplied to the base.
