Project Janus, led by the Department of the Army, has identified Fort Wainwright in Alaska as a candidate site for deploying small, advanced nuclear reactors. This initiative aims to enhance energy security at military installations and facilitate repeatable nuclear deployments.

Additionally, Oklo Inc. is advancing a microreactor deployment at Eielson Air Force Base. Recent polls indicate a growing openness among Alaskans towards nuclear energy, with support increasing when provided with information on advanced technologies. Federal support for advanced nuclear has remained consistent across administrations, fostering momentum for these technologies, while questions regarding performance, financing, and regulation remain to be addressed.
