NANO Nuclear’s KRONOS MMR™ Program Advancing Through U.S. NRC Review with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Jay Yu, Chairman and President of NANO Nuclear Energy

“The continued progress of the KRONOS MMR(™) through the NRC’s review process reflects the years of technical, regulatory and engineering work that have gone into this program.”

Jay Yu, Chairman and President of NANO Nuclear Energy

“Together with U. of I., we are steadily advancing one of the most important objectives for NANO Nuclear: moving our flagship reactor technology from engineering and development toward construction and real-world demonstration.”

“Each step forward in the licensing process brings us closer to that goal and strengthens the foundation for our broader deployment strategy.”

James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Nuclear Energy

“The NRC’s review of the KRONOS MMR(™) Construction Permit Application is a detailed and rigorous process, and the sustained engagement between the NRC, U. of I. and our technical teams is exactly what we expect at this stage of the program.”

James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Nuclear Energy

“Our focus is on working methodically through the NRC’s questions and technical areas of review and providing the information necessary to support its independent evaluation.”

James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Nuclear Energy

“We are encouraged by the progress to date and remain focused on maintaining the technical and regulatory discipline required to advance the KRONOS MMR(™) project toward the opportunity to begin initial construction activities in the second half of 2027.”
