A remote Air Force base in Alaska is getting its own nuclear reactor::Eielson Air Force Base will get some of its energy from a small nuclear reactor that’s scheduled to go online in 2027.
This is really cool, but not exactly abnormal. “Nuclear submarines” already have them
Very interesting and very cool. Another very interesting thing here is the company building/running the small reactor is Oklo. Oklo is co founded by Sam Altman, which is the CEO of OpenAI, the company that made ChatGPT. This guy may be a household name in the next few years. Oklo goinf public via SPAC merger in 2024.
Damn that article URL looks like a bunch of buzzwords stringed together lmao
That is literally what it is :D
Kinda surprised they don’t already with how long the Navy has been cracking atoms to keep the lights on
