The U.S. Navy plans to install Indiana's first nuclear microreactor at Naval Weapons Station Crane by 2028 to secure continuous electricity independent of the commercial grid, enhancing military operational resilience and advancing domestic nuclear microreactor technology.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your energy supply for military operations can now be secured off-grid with nuclear microreactors. If you build power resilience or nuclear tech for defence, this opens a door to proving your tech in a critical federal project.
