The Department of Defense (DoD) recently exercised a contract option with X-energy of Rockville, Maryland, to develop an enhanced engineering design for a transportable micro nuclear reactor, the Pentagon confirmed on 13 September.
The Pentagon's Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) executed the contract option to develop a complementary microreactor design that builds upon X-energy's developments completed under Project Pele in 2022, the Pentagon said in a statement.
Started in 2019, Project Pele's objective is to design, build, and demonstrate a prototype mobile nuclear reactor by the middle of this decade. The project is led by SCO in close collaboration with the Department of Energy (DoE), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), US Army Corps of Engineers, as well as with industry partners.
Pele was in response to the 2019 US National Defense Authorization Act, which mandated the DoD and the DoE to develop a plan to design, build, and test a microreactor at a DoD installation by December 2027.
