Small.

This is coolbert:

Nuclear reactor portable brigade sized?

Thanks to the tip from Matt.

1. "US Military Eyes Tiny Nuclear Reactors for Deployed Troops"

A small portable nuclear-reactor power-plant capable of providing power for deployed American troops in remote and rugged areas.

2. "Pentagon awards contracts to design mobile nuclear reactor"

"Pentagon awards contracts to design mobile nuclear reactor"

"WASHINGTON — The Pentagon on Monday issued three contracts to start design work on mobile, small nuclear reactors, as part of a two-step plan towards achieving nuclear power for American forces at home and abroad"


A SMALL SAFE PORTABLE NUCLEAR REACTOR PROVIDING A MODICUM OF ON-CALL ELECTRICAL POWER FOR A BRIGADE SIZED UNIT DEPLOYED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. CAN IT BE DONE?

An idea hardly unique also. Portable atomic reactors on a much more massive scale mounted on ships or barges [Soviet/Russian and American] with an ability to be connected to "shore power" in case of war or extreme emergency.
