Project Pele Contracts
DoD awards contracts to BWXT and X-energy to design mobile microreactors.
BWXT reported a record 85% surge in commercial nuclear backlog, while Kratos achieved 20% organic revenue growth, highlighting a massive shift toward high-density power and advanced propulsion technologies. These results underscore the growing 'Defense-Energy Nexus' as industrial and government sectors commit capital to next-generation reactor and turbine systems.
The US military has successfully completed a first-of-its-kind airlift of a micro-nuclear reactor, signaling a major shift in portable energy logistics. This milestone aligns with President Trump's broader strategy to fast-track advanced nuclear technology to ensure energy dominance and military resilience.
