Could Fort Drum be the first site for an advanced nuclear reactor in New York state?

Fort Drum, the U.S. Army base outside Watertown, could become the first New York site to try advanced nuclear power technology if the Army goes along with pleas from Congressional representatives.
U.S. Reps. Elise Stefanik and Claudia Tenney, both Upstate Republicans, issued a joint letter Oct. 25 urging the Army to put Fort Drum first in line for one of the small modular nuclear reactors that President Joe Biden and Department of Defense officials are promoting as a clean source of resilient energy.
