A plan to boost energy independence is underway. The goal is to have a reliable source of power that does not rely on the commercial electric grid. Five military bases will be involved, with locations spanning from New York to Texas, including Fort Hood.

The project involves building microreactors, with five companies selected to own, construct, and operate them. These companies could receive up to $2.2 billion over five years if they meet certain milestones.

Further details about the project and its implementation are available from the source. The initiative is part of a broader effort to develop next-generation nuclear power.
