US Navy to Deploy Portable Nuclear Microreactor at Indiana Base by 2028

• The US Navy selected Radiant's 1MW Kaleidos microreactor for a prototype plant at Naval Weapons Station Crane in Indiana.
• The Pentagon aims for the microreactor to be operational by September 2028 to maintain power for critical systems during grid outages.
• Kaleidos has not yet achieved criticality in any of its units, and only one unit will support critical loads, not the entire base.
• The US Navy intends to use the microreactor at one of its most important weapons facilities.
• The deployment is part of a broader push by the US military and NASA to use microreactors for remote bases and deep-space exploration.
