The U.S. Army’s new Janus Program aims to deploy small, long-lasting nuclear micro-reactors on bases worldwide, enhancing energy resilience, reducing diesel dependence, and ensuring reliable power for future Indo-Pacific and remote operations.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand how microreactor technology could enhance operational energy independence and resilience.
  • Analyse the strategic and logistical implications of integrating nuclear power into defence infrastructure.
  • Evaluate public–private partnerships as potential models for accelerating energy innovation and sustaining base-level self-sufficiency.
