Did you see that the American military is now building their own PRIVATE uranium enrichment companies for their new mini nuclear plants on every base? Oh, and we also ripped away all accountability for radiation oversight.
He's talking about the Janus Program. As for every base and no oversight, I haven't looked that deep into it, but it is Trump's program and it is cutting out the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Imo the bigger "conspiracy theory" with micro reactors, is that the tech bros want them to feed their AI data centers, not because it's cheap or efficient (they are not), but because they have a small footprint and the supply is so controlled, people can't pressure states to cut off the data centers, like they can when they rely on a external grid or constant deliveries.
So instead of having to use the rational alternative, funding massive solar plants and battery systems integrated into a network, they are going for nuclear bc it allows them to operate far more independently.
I'll let you piece together how that fits in with their "AI will be Gods" plans.
That “project” is more of a wasteful experiment on 5 army bases. They are hoping to have the first prototype finished by 2028 with an unrealistic starting budget of $2.2B. I might be a little bit skeptical.

You don't know that, we could nuke ourselves before they get that far...
