The U.S. Army Is Spending $2.2 Billion on Micro Nuclear Reactors. This Stock Could Benefit.
The U.S. Army's Janus Program is bringing opportunities to nuclear energy investors.
The U.S. Army is investing $2.2 billion in micro nuclear reactors through the Janus Program, launched in 2025. This program aims to provide the U.S. military with safe, reliable, and secure power through over 20 nuclear microreactors. BWX Technologies, a defense contractor with experience in nuclear energy, was selected by the U.S. Army to help build these microreactors, as BWXT already supplies nuclear power to U.S. Navy submarines and aircraft carriers.
BWXT stock has grown by approximately 136% over the past five years; however, it has recently declined by around 40% in the last six months. Despite this recent decline, BWXT might be a more stable investment option compared to other small modular reactor companies due to its track record of deploying technology and earning profits.
