Nuclear Reactor, Natural Gas Power Plant To Be Built At APG

“Everything that we do, from communications to radar, just requires constant energy, and … in the future with drones, with energy weapons, there’s just more and more demand for electricity. At the same time, our supply chains have never been so challenged,” Waksman said during a media roundtable in late August. “Right now, all critical infrastructure that the Army has is backed up by some form of liquid fossil fuel, primarily diesel. So, that makes nuclear energy just a natural game changer for the Army.”

“No construction will begin until rigorous environmental and regulatory reviews — including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Clean Air and Water Acts, and all required federal, state and local permits — are fully complete,” a statement released by the U.S. Army said.
