From the transcript
The United States Army is on the hunt for a game-changing piece of kit. It's not a Ugun, it's not a new tank, it's not a new helicopter, it's a nuclear reactor, or more specifically, a nuclear micro-reactor.
Under a brand new initiative dubbed the Janus program, the US Army wants to bring its first micro-reactor online within just three years or less, and once the Janus program has established proof of concept, America is going to build.
If the US Army has its way, then before long, every military base in the United States could be powered by its own micro-re actor, with the technology spreading to other US bases across the globe.
