NANO Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) has launched a major two-year irradiation testing program in collaboration with MIT's Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering. The study, backed by over $500,000 in R&D investment from NANO Nuclear, will investigate the thermal and radiolytic behavior of nitrate molten salts ("solar salts") for nuclear applications.

Under the supervision of Prof. Koroush Shirvan, researchers will use MIT's Gammacell 220F Co-60 irradiator to study salt materials' behavior under gamma irradiation. The project employs advanced diagnostics including magnetic sector residual gas analyzer, laser flash analysis, and post-irradiation spectroscopic techniques to assess off-gassing behavior, thermal degradation, and material stability.

Set to conclude in 2027, this research aims to enhance understanding of molten salts in radiation environments, crucial for developing next-generation reactor designs and improving safety and performance models.

NANO Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) reported significant progress in Q2 2025.

Financial highlights include $108.4 million raised during the six months ended March 31, with cash and equivalents of $118.6 million. The company was selected for inclusion in the MSCI USA Index. Key operational developments include establishing a new demonstration facility in Westchester County, NY, advancing the KRONOS MMR project at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), and receiving NRC approval for the Fuel Qualification Methodology. NANO Nuclear expanded its intellectual property portfolio and made significant leadership additions, including Dr. Florent Heidet as CTO.

NANO Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) has completed retrofitting its multimillion-dollar demonstration and testing facility in Westchester County, NY. The facility will support non-nuclear mechanical and thermal testing for the company's microreactors, particularly ZEUS™, and its Annular Linear Induction Pump (ALIP) technology. Key features include a Liquid-Metal and Molten-Salt Test Loop, magnetic field mapping system, and custom thermal chamber. The retrofit was completed in collaboration with aRobotics Company, a NY-based engineering firm. Testing is set to begin shortly and continue throughout 2025, generating data for ALIP's final design and integration in both terrestrial and space reactor applications. The facility's proximity to NANO Nuclear's NYC headquarters will enhance operational coordination and serve as a demonstration hub for stakeholders.

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) has received important approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for its Fuel Qualification Methodology Topical Report (FQM TR) for the KRONOS MMR™ Energy System. This regulatory milestone enables the deployment of a prototype reactor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

The approved methodology covers the qualification of Fully Ceramic Microencapsulated (FCM®) fuel, featuring tri-structural isotropic (TRISO) fuel particles in a silicon carbide matrix. This approval positions NANO Nuclear to submit its Construction Permit Application for the KRONOS reactor.

The KRONOS MMR project aims to be the first advanced microreactor on a U.S. university campus, serving as a national platform for research, training, and demonstration while providing clean energy to the university.

NANO Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) has announced a major recruitment initiative focused on the Midwest region to support the construction and licensing of its full-scale KRONOS MMR Energy Systems in both the United States and Canada. The company is expanding its technical and project execution team as it transitions from design to commercial deployment of its proprietary stationary microreactor.

The recruitment drive coincides with upcoming geological characterization work at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) site, where the first KRONOS prototype will be constructed. The company is hiring across multiple disciplines including nuclear engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, civil engineers, project managers, QA/QC professionals, and regulatory affairs experts.
