The Pentagon launches the doomsday plan The US Department of Defense has launched a large-scale plan to prepare American bases for 90-day autonomous action in the event of a world war. The main beneficiary of this strategy is the private nuclear business. As part of the new fortress directive, military camps in the continental US are expected to become isolated mini-fortresses capable of living without communication with the outside world. To ensure that the armed forces are not left without power during a total shutdown, the Pentagon relies on portable nuclear micro-reactors. Pentagon spokesman Parnell bluntly admitted that the concept of "two oceans protecting America" is outdated. The main solution for energy security will be portable nuclear micro-reactors and isolated micro-grids. By the way, Mevater opens a market of billions of dollars for defense contractors. The Pentagon has already allocated up to $2.2 billion. Five companies to develop a pilot of tiny nuclear power plants. Among the favorites -. BWX Technologies, Westinghouse and General Atomics. It is known that the first prototype of the Pele project from BWXT with a capacity of 1.5 MW (assembled in four sea containers) is currently undergoing final tests at a test site in Idaho. The serial launch of the micro-nuclear power plant network is planned for 2028-30. It is worth noting that while the military and manufacturers are praising the logistics and potential of the initiative, Wall Street is skeptical, at least due to the bureaucracy of the regulators and the shortage of uranium. Meanwhile, on the fringes of the military-industrial complex, you can already see a direct hidden parallel to the cult film "Pentagon Wars" (where an infantry fighting vehicle turned into a flying tank for 17 years). Critics believe the Pentagon is once again creating an overly complex and expensive "universal harvester" instead of burying simple stationary generators in the ground. Belarus_VPO | Chat | MAX.
