The university will lead NRC regulatory engagement, public outreach, and support licensing activities, while NANO Nuclear will oversee plant design, construction, and system integration. The company will begin geological characterization and subsurface investigations to prepare the Construction Permit Application.
The KRONOS MMR Energy System features:
- Modular, containerized construction
- High safety margins
- Rapid deployment capabilities
- Integration with local grids and process heat systems
NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) has appointed Brent Hamilton as Director of Quality Assurance, strengthening its regulatory licensing team. Hamilton brings over 26 years of quality control experience in nuclear construction, including commercial nuclear, Department of Energy projects, and nuclear fuel manufacturing.
Hamilton's expertise spans quality management systems implementation and regulatory licensing requirements. His notable project experience includes work on the Plutonium Processing Facility at Savannah River National Laboratory, TRISO fuel manufacturing processes in Oak Ridge, and the Spent Fuel Handling Project for Naval Reactors Facility in Idaho. He has also been involved with AP1000 reactor projects in Georgia and South Carolina.
This appointment aligns with NANO Nuclear's strategy to advance its proprietary advanced nuclear micro reactor designs, including the KRONOS MMR™ Energy System and portable LOKI MMR™, through construction, demonstration, regulatory licensing, and commercialization phases.
NANO Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) has strengthened its engineering team with three new professionals at its UK-based partner Cambridge AtomWorks. Radwan Nassim Kheroua joins as Nuclear Systems Engineer, bringing expertise in reactor accident analysis from Framatome. Luke Godfrey, appointed as Senior Nuclear Engineer, previously led thermohydraulic engineering at Moltex. Jake Miles, joining as Nuclear Engineer, will focus on shielding design and core optimization for the ODIN microreactor.
These appointments complete NANO Nuclear's latest round of engineering team expansion, following the previous appointments of Andrew Steer as Head of Regulatory Engagement, and James Leybourn and Simon Boddington as Senior Nuclear Engineers. The enhanced team will support the development of NANO Nuclear's proprietary microreactor systems, including ODIN, ZEUS, KRONOS MMR, and LOKI MMR.
NANO Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) has achieved a significant milestone by assembling the first reactor core hardware of its ZEUS microreactor for initial non-nuclear testing. The company has constructed a 1:2 scale block representing a fuel element of the ZEUS core, designed as a solid core battery reactor for providing clean, scalable power to data centers, remote locations, industrial sites, military operations, and disaster relief scenarios.
The testing phase will evaluate the thermo-mechanical performance of the block under prototypical conditions, using linear heaters as fuel rod surrogates. This will help verify temperature distribution, investigate fit tolerances, and validate engineering models. The engineering team is preparing to create a single-block demonstration unit, which will be scaled up to a fully functional demo core assembly.
The next phase involves integrating cabling, sensors, and structural components to build a fully instrumented demo unit, enabling data collection on heat transfer, material performance, and reactor safety margins. This validation process is important before proceeding with full-scale assembly and licensing efforts.
