Not Oklo. Not NuScale. The Army Picked This Nuclear Stock to Power Fort Campbell.
BWXT brings an established nuclear business to the Army's microreactor program.
The U.S. Army has selected BWXT Technologies to develop a 20-megawatt nuclear microreactor at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, as part of its $2.2 billion Janus program. This selection puts BWXT ahead of other advanced nuclear developers like Oklo and NuScale Power for this particular project. BWXT's chosen reactor, the BWXT Advanced Nuclear Reactor (BANR), uses high-temperature gas-cooled technology and TRISO fuel, which provides enhanced safety features.
Unlike its competitors, BWXT already operates an established nuclear manufacturing business and has significant financial backing, having generated $902 million in revenue in Q2 2026 and a backlog of $8.4 billion. The Army's decision to back this project provides government support for advanced nuclear technology and gives BWXT an opportunity to generate revenue beyond its existing operations.
