The Department of the Air Force (DAF) and the Defense Innovation Unit within the Department of Defense have selected Buckley Space Force Base in Colorado and Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana to potentially site microreactors.
Wednesday’s announcement moves forward the plans of the Advanced Nuclear Power for Installations (ANPI) program, which was launched in 2024 with the objective of deploying “advanced, contractor-owned and operated” microreactors from commercial reactor companies on bases.
