NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. has received final Safety Evaluation approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for its Fuel Qualification Methodology, a significant regulatory milestone that paves the way for the eventual deployment of the KRONOS Microreactor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The approval marks a major step towards the deployment of the KRONOS reactor prototype and defines the regulatory framework for the qualification of Fully Ceramic Microencapsulated (FCM) fuel. The KRONOS MMR Energy System will be the first advanced microreactor built and operated on a U.S. university campus, serving as a national platform for research, training, and demonstration. With this approval, NANO Nuclear is now positioned to submit its Construction Permit Application for the KRONOS reactor. The approval has been met with enthusiasm from company executives, as they see it as a crucial step towards advancing clean energy technologies to address global energy security and decarbonization goals.
