NANO Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) is advancing its KRONOS MMR construction permit application through NRC review with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
The university submitted the application on March 31, 2026. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission accepted it for review on May 18 and began formal review activities on June 23. Both teams have since answered questions and supplied information during the ongoing technical audit.
The NRC’s public schedule targets draft environmental and safety assessments in February 2027, a final Environmental Assessment in May 2027 and a final Safety Evaluation in September 2027. NANO Nuclear continues to expect an opportunity to begin initial construction at the university in the second half of 2027, subject to required regulatory approvals and other customary project requirements. The application remains under review; acceptance was not a construction permit approval.

NANO Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) has hired Jennifer Charlton, Ph.D., as Vice President of Fuel Technology to support its fuel-cycle expansion plans. Charlton brings nearly two decades of experience in nuclear materials, uranium processing, fuel-cycle technology and advanced manufacturing. She previously held senior technical and leadership positions at the Y-12 National Security Complex, including Chief Scientist and U.S. Lead for Nuclear Material Verification.
Her responsibilities include evaluating expansion opportunities and leading technology design, engineering and development, focusing on uranium conversion, deconversion and fuel fabrication. She will also advise on bringing more fuel-cycle capabilities within the company to support future advanced reactor deployments and nuclear logistics. NANO Nuclear plans this expansion as its KRONOS MMR Energy System continues development.
Radnostix (INIS) signed a definitive agreement to sell its nuclear fuel processing assets to NANO Nuclear Energy (NNE) and its subsidiary.
Consideration payable at closing consists of $9.5 million in cash and $4.0 million in NANO common stock. The assets include a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license, patented technology and technical materials for depleted uranium hexafluoride processing and fluorine extraction. The licensed facility contemplated in Lea County, New Mexico, was not previously constructed.
The parties expect closing in approximately 90 to 120 days, subject to NRC consent to the license transfer, other required approvals including those from New Mexico officials, and satisfactory site arrangements. Radnostix intends to use net proceeds after closing to accelerate its four radioisotope technology product segments through research and development and organic and acquisition-led growth.

Consideration at closing is $9.5 million in cash and $4.0 million in common stock. The assets include a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license, patented technology and technical materials for a planned depleted uranium hexafluoride processing facility in Lea County, New Mexico. The facility was never constructed.
Closing requires NRC consent to the license transfer, other approvals including from New Mexico officials, and satisfactory site arrangements. The parties expect closing in approximately 90 to 120 days, depending on approvals and conditions. After closing and license transfer, NANO Nuclear plans to evaluate development options and potential partnerships. No final investment decision has been made; development remains subject to technical, commercial, financing and regulatory considerations.
NANO Nuclear Energy (NNE) signed a non-binding letter of intent with IP3 and Cybernetic Intelligence to explore nuclear-powered AI infrastructure.
The non-exclusive framework, executed last month, names NANO Nuclear the preferred provider of nuclear technology and services for opportunities pursued through the collaboration. IP3 would contribute project development, financing and government engagement capabilities. Cybernetic Intelligence would bring AI infrastructure expertise and access to potential computing customers. The parties intend to evaluate opportunities in the United States and select international markets, including defense energy resilience and high-performance computing.
The parties intend to identify a mutually agreed pilot, which would require a separate agreement setting its scope, timeline, commercial terms and deliverables. Future projects remain subject to diligence, approvals, financing and definitive agreements.
NANO Nuclear Energy (NNE) appointed former U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission executive Marilyn Diaz as Director of Fuel Facilities Operations, effective with the announced hire on September 9, 2026.
Diaz spent more than seventeen years at the NRC, most recently as Acting Deputy Division Director in the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, leading a team of over 60 engineers and scientists on advanced and operating reactor licensing. She previously served as Chief of Staff and Technical Assistant to NRC Commissioner Annie Caputo and held leadership roles covering reactor regulation, nuclear fuel facilities, advanced nuclear fuels, materials licensing and nuclear material transportation systems.
At NANO Nuclear, Diaz will oversee strategic expansion across the front end of the nuclear fuel cycle, with focus on fuel conversion, de-conversion, enrichment and strengthening the domestic fuel supply chain to support U.S. energy security and the company’s vertical integration plans.
NANO Nuclear Energy (NNE) signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Enveniam to explore collaboration across the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle, microreactor commercialization and energy infrastructure. The framework aims to leverage Enveniam’s engineering, licensing and project-integration expertise with NANO Nuclear’s developing microreactors, fuel fabrication and transportation capabilities.
The MOU outlines six potential workstreams, including nuclear fuel transportation for HALEU systems, uranium conversion and deconversion, KRONOS MMR™ and portable microreactor commercialization, advanced manufacturing facilities, domestic fuel supply-chain support and commercial energy solutions for data centers and remote or off-grid communities. A joint working group will review opportunities and potential funding applications, while any specific projects, services or financial commitments will require separate definitive agreements and remain subject to technical, regulatory, financial and stakeholder conditions.
NANO Nuclear Energy (NNE) advanced its collaboration with Howden, a Baker Hughes business, as the KRONOS MMR™ primary helium circulator moves from preliminary engineering into the detailed design phase.
The helium circulator is a critical subsystem that circulates helium coolant through the KRONOS MMR™ core, affecting plant efficiency, thermal performance and long-term reliability. Howden, drawing on decades of experience in helium turbomachinery and high-temperature gas-cooled reactor technology, has completed key engineering evaluations, 3D models, supporting analyses and formal design reviews with NANO Nuclear’s team, creating a more mature technical basis for the subsystem.
Ongoing work includes component qualification, materials and performance testing, design optimization and manufacturing planning. The company links this milestone with earlier progress on the Fuel Handling & Storage System, supporting subsystem standardization and the engineering foundation for future KRONOS deployments and commercialization.
