# Army Advances Fort Campbell Microreactor

BWX Technologies has begun work on a 22-megawatt-electric, 75-megawatt-thermal microreactor project for Fort Campbell, the first Army site identified under the Janus program. Near-term work includes selecting a final site, planning regulatory approvals, and producing fuel; project cost, delivery method, and plant operations are still under development. For procurement teams and industry stakeholders, this is an early-stage opportunity to prepare capabilities in nuclear licensing, fuel supply, rail logistics, construction, and operations, rather than a finalized contract with defined terms.

- Companies with nuclear licensing, fuel production, rail transport, construction, or plant-operations capabilities can assess how their services may fit as project requirements are defined.
- The project has no stated contract value, solicitation number, delivery plan, or procurement contact, so the opportunity’s scope and acquisition path remain uncertain.
- BWXT’s cited prospects in Wyoming, Poland, and Canada suggest possible follow-on markets, but the Fort Campbell project is the specific Army site identified under Janus.
