The Department of Defense (DoD) has broken ground at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) on the
👉transportable nuclear reactor.

The reactor, under a Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) initiative, is being manufactured by BWXT Advanced Technologies, LLC, Lynchburg, Virginia.

Assembly of the final reactor is set to begin in February 2025.

The current schedule includes transport of the fully-assembled reactor to INL in 2026, where it would become the first ever Generation IV nuclear reactor to generate electricity in the United States.

"We are thrilled to move beyond the era of PowerPoint advanced reactors," said Dr. Jeff Waksman, Project Pele program manager. "Our tight partnership with INL and the Department of Energy Idaho Operations Office is leading the way forward not just for manufacturing advanced reactors, but also for regulating them in an efficient and safe manner."
