Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) completed the first full‑system tests of its proprietary Annular Linear Induction Pump (ALIP) at its Westchester County, New York demonstration facility. The tests reached temperatures of up to 350 °C, confirming the ALIP’s core design and durability for high‑temperature molten‑salt and liquid‑metal cooling systems that are integral to the company’s microreactor platforms.
The successful test marks a critical step toward commercializing the ALIP as a zero‑maintenance alternative to conventional mechanical pumps. By eliminating moving parts, the ALIP offers greater reliability and lower operating costs, positioning Nano Nuclear to deliver advanced cooling solutions for both terrestrial and space‑based microreactors such as KRONOS MMR™, ZEUS™, and ODIN.
CEO James Walker said the results “validate the ALIP system’s core design and durability, marking an important step toward the eventual commercialization of this proprietary technology.” Chairman Jay Yu added that the data “help guide our design decisions and position us to offer a viable electromagnetic alternative to mechanical molten‑metal pumps, particularly in hard‑to‑service environments,” underscoring the milestone’s strategic importance.
Pre‑market trading on November 19 reflected investor enthusiasm, with the stock rising 3.7 % as the market reacted to the tangible progress in a key technology that underpins Nano Nuclear’s growth strategy.
The ALIP’s advantages—no moving parts, high‑temperature tolerance, and reduced maintenance—align with the company’s goal of becoming a vertically integrated provider of microreactor technology. The microreactor market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 21.81 % from 2025 to 2034, and Nano Nuclear’s recent acquisition of ALIP intellectual property in June 2024 and the construction of its demonstration facility reinforce its competitive position.
While a specific commercialization timeline has not been disclosed, the successful full‑system test validates the design and paves the way for pilot programs and eventual market entry, reinforcing confidence in the company’s roadmap for delivering advanced nuclear solutions.
