The program: The Army’s new “Janus Program” will partner with the Defense Innovation Unit to build commercially operated microreactors aimed at accelerating private-sector deployment.
Market reaction: NuScale surged 16% on the news, while Oklo and Nano Nuclear slipped slightly. Uranium producer Centrus rose 10%.
The mandate: Trump’s May executive order requires the War Department to have a reactor operating at a US military site by September 2028, part of a broader push to fast-track small reactor technology.
