该反应堆从加利福尼亚州的马奇预备役基地飞抵犹他州的希尔空军基地，预计将被运至俄勒冈维尔的犹他州圣拉斐尔能源实验室进行测试和评估——这是评估先进核系统如何支持军事设施和远程防御行动的关键一步。
战争部在X平台（原推特）上分享了反应堆装载到C-17飞机上的图片。
“我们正在推进特朗普总统关于核能的行政命令，”帖子中写道，”片刻之后，我们将空运一个下一代核反应堆。”

战争部表示，反应堆的成功交付和安装将为国家国防的能源韧性和战略独立性开辟新可能性，凸显了官员们所说的以敏捷、创新和商业优先为原则的解决关键基础设施挑战的方法。
该机构在新闻稿中称：”通过利用先进核技术的力量，我们不仅在增强国家安全，还在推动美国能源主导地位的未来。这一事件证明了美国精神的智慧，是为子孙后代确保国家自由和实力的关键进展。”

5月，总统唐纳德·特朗普签署了几项旨在扩大国内核能发展的行政命令。当时，内政部长道格·伯加姆表示，美国在”所有与核能相关的事务”上曾引领战后世界，直到”停滞不前”并”被过度监管所束缚”。
战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯补充说，由于我们的核能力，”当其他国家做不到时，我们将确保电力供应和人工智能系统正常运行。”
特朗普的一项核指令要求改革能源部的研发工作，加快国家实验室的反应堆测试，并为新建设立试点项目。

白宫在该命令中表示，核能”对于为确保我们全球工业、数字和经济主导地位的下一代技术提供动力、实现能源独立和保护国家安全是必要的。”
核能扩张努力是政府更广泛推动加强国内各行业能源生产和电网可靠性的一部分。
几天后，特朗普签署了另一项行政命令，指示战争部直接与燃煤发电厂合作签订新的长期购电协议，称此举将确保”更可靠的电力和更强大、更具韧性的电网电力”。
该命令《用美国美丽的清洁煤发电舰队加强美国国防》指出：”美国必须确保我们的电网……保持韧性和可靠性，而不依赖间歇性能源来源”，称电网”是我们国防以及经济稳定的基础”。

“美国的政策是煤炭对我们的国家和经济安全至关重要，”该命令补充道。

The Department of War on Sunday transported a next-generation nuclear reactor aboard a C-17 from California to Utah, advancing President Donald Trump’s executive order to modernize America’s nuclear energy infrastructure and strengthen U.S. national security.
The reactor was flown from March Air Reserve Base in California to Hill Air Force Base in Utah and is expected to be transported to the Utah San Rafael Energy Lab in Orangeville for testing and evaluation – a key step in assessing how advanced nuclear systems could support military installations and remote defense operations.
The Department of War shared images on X showing the reactor loaded onto the C-17 aircraft.
“We’re advancing President Trump’s executive order on nuclear energy,” the post read. “Moments from now, we will airlift a next-generation nuclear reactor.”
TRUMP ADMIN POURS $1B INTO MASSIVE EFFORT TO RESTART NUCLEAR REACTOR AT HISTORIC MELTDOWN SITE
The Department of War said the successful delivery and installation of the reactor will open new possibilities for energy resilience and strategic independence for the nation’s defense, highlighting what officials described as an agile, innovative and commercial-first approach to addressing critical infrastructure challenges.
“By harnessing the power of advanced nuclear technology, we are not only enhancing our national security but championing a future of American energy dominance,” the agency said in a press release. “This event is a testament to the ingenuity of the American spirit and a critical advancement in securing our nation’s freedom and strength for generations to come.”
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Department of War for additional comment.

In May, President Donald Trump signed several executive orders aimed at expanding domestic nuclear energy development. At the time, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said America led the postwar world on “all things nuclear” until it “stagnated” and was “choked with overregulation.”
War Secretary Pete Hegseth added that the U.S. was “going to have the lights on and AI operating when others are not because of our nuclear capabilities.”
One of Trump’s nuclear directives called for reforming Energy Department research and development, accelerating reactor testing at national laboratories and establishing a pilot program for new construction.

Nuclear energy, the White House said in the order, “is necessary to power the next generation technologies that secure our global industrial, digital, and economic dominance, achieve energy independence, and protect our national security.”
The nuclear expansion effort is part of a broader administration push to reinforce domestic energy production and grid reliability across multiple sectors.
Days later, Trump signed another executive order directing the Department of War to work directly with coal-fired power plants on new long-term power purchasing agreements, arguing the move would ensure “more reliable power and stronger and more resilient grid power.”
The order, “Strengthening United States National Defense with America’s Beautiful Clean Coal Power Generation Fleet,” states, “The United States must ensure that our electric grid … remains resilient and reliable, and not reliant on intermittent energy sources,” calling the grid “the foundation of our national defense as well as our economic stability.”

“It is the policy of the United States that coal is essential to our national and economic security,” the order adds.
