The U.S. Army awarded five companies contracts worth up to $2.2 billion for microreactors at five military bases.

The U.S. Army awarded contracts to five companies for microreactor power facilities at five military bases. The contracts cover construction and operation rather than only the supply of reactor hardware.

Their combined stated value is up to $2.2 billion. “Up to” identifies a maximum contract ceiling and does not establish that the full amount has been obligated or paid.

The supplied source does not name the five contractors or military bases. It also does not specify individual reactor output, deployment dates, fuel type, licensing milestones or the allocation of the ceiling among the awardees.
