§ 03
SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment requires the Department of Defense to start a test program for using microreactors, which are small, transportable nuclear power sources. These reactors are intended to provide reliable electricity to military bases or remote locations without needing to connect to a traditional power grid.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
2POINT 01
Creates a microreactor pilot program
This allows the military to test small-scale nuclear technology in the field rather than just in a laboratory setting.
POINT 02
Focuses on energy independence
By generating their own power, military bases could stay operational even if the public electricity grid is attacked or fails.
