NEWS: Malmstrom Air Force Base chosen to site nuclear microreactor

The Air Force has tapped three companies to develop and operate microreactors at its bases, targeting at least one online by 2030. (KRTV)

  • The matchups: Malmstrom AFB (Montana) will partner with Westinghouse, Buckley SFB (Colorado) with Radiant Industries, and Joint Base San Antonio (Texas) with Antares Nuclear.

  • Why it matters: The military pathway sidesteps utility procurement timelines and hands developers a customer that doesn't need the state’s blessing.
