US races to build up to 50 MW nuclear reactors to power military bases, remote sites
 
The U.S. administration is expediting the construction of the world’s first two microreactor test beds. Named DOME and LOTUS, the two test beds will help reactor developers test their fueled microreactor experiments quickly, safely, and cost-effectively by leveraging existing infrastructure at the lab. 
 
To expedite the process, the federal government has granted the priority rating authorization to Idaho National Laboratory (INL).

The new rating builds off recent actions by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to streamline construction projects across the national laboratories to restore energy dominance and help spur U.S. innovation.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
