The Army Nuclear Power Program (ANPP) was a program of the United States Army to develop small nuclear reactors to generate electrical and space-heating energy primarily at remote, relatively inaccessible sites. The ANPP tried both pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors, and had several accomplishments, but ultimately it was considered to be "a solution in search of a problem." The U.S. Army Engineer Reactors Group managed this program and it was headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The program began in 1954 as the Army Reactors Branch and had effectively terminated by about 1977, with the last class of NPP operators graduating in 1977. Work continued for some time thereafter either for decommissioning of the plants or placing them into SAFSTOR (long term storage and monitoring before decommissioning). The current development of small modular reactors has led to a renewed interest in military applications, e.g. in Project Pele.
