The Army is moving forward with the Janus Project, a private-public partnership to place commercial nuclear microreactors on some of its bases.
The program aims to enhance the Army's ability to power its bases, anticipating a significant increase in energy expenditure due to the adoption of artificial intelligence and new-age weaponry.
