Antares at Bragg, BWXT at Campbell, General Atomics at Hood, Radiant at Benning, Westinghouse at Drum. Named plants on named posts, drawing on the same $2.2 billion pot. The installations stay on the commercial grid; the new machines are the backup that does not need a diesel convoy. First useful power is the number to watch.
