U.S. Army selects BWX Technologies for 20-megawatt reactor at Fort Campbell
The Fort Campbell project under the Army’s Janus program targets a late-2028 groundbreaking, with operations expected to start in the early 2030s, as BWX moves toward a vendor-owned power model.
BWX Technologies has been selected by the U.S. Army to deploy a 20-megawatt Advanced Nuclear Reactor at Fort Campbell as part of the Army’s Janus program, according to MarketBeat Ratings.
The outlet said the effort functions as a federally funded proving ground for commercial microreactors and is designed to reduce early-stage deployment friction, while also shifting BWX’s role from a component manufacturer to a vendor-owned operating model that sells generated power directly to the installation.
MarketBeat Ratings added that the transition is supported by an $800 million divestiture and an $8.39 billion backlog, and it highlights the potential for recurring revenue through long-term power purchase agreements.
The Fort Campbell project is described as targeting a late-2028 groundbreaking, with operations scheduled to begin in the early 2030s, and the article frames the move as a way to de-risk the technology for private industrial use.
