Hats with the slogan “Make Nuclear Great Again” were handed out during Sunday’s ceremony at March Air Reserve Base.OSINTdefender (@sentdefender)“The first-ever airlift of a nuclear reactor and ancillary systems via C-17, opening a wide aperture for strategic nuclear deployment around the World”
Three C-17A Globemaster IIIs with the U.S. Air Force’s 62nd and 437th Airlift Wings participated in the transfer Sunday of eight nuclear modules – parts of a “next-generation” miniaturized nuclear reactor built by the El Segundo-based energy startup Valar Atomics – in a Nuclear Energy Initiative conducted jointly by the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy dubbed Operation Windlord.
The C-17s transported the reactors from March Air Reserve Base near Riverside in Southern California, to Hill Air Force Base, located outside Salt Lake City, Utah, following a ceremony at March which included Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, Michael Duffey, the Undersecretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment, as well as the Founder of Valar Atomics, entrepreneur Isaiah Taylor.
Once on the ground in Utah, the modules, part of Valar Atomics’ Ward250, a next-generation reactor design that uses helium coolant and graphite moderators expected to operational by the 4th of July, will be moved to Utah San Rafael Energy Lab (USREL) in Orangeville for extensive testing and evaluation, under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program, established in response to President Trump’s Executive Order 14301.— https://x.com/sentdefender/status/2023189646172201438
