NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. announced on March 3, 2025, its support for a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I application. This project, in collaboration with the City University of New York – City College (CCNY) and Advanced Engineering Solutions LLC (AES), is titled 'Investigation of Microreactor Cooling and Development of a Smart Alarming System for Reactor Pressure Vessel Surface Temperature Monitoring.'
The project aims to develop advanced cooling techniques and monitoring systems for microreactor transport safety. Assuming SBIR Phase I approval and funding, it will evaluate Heat Pipes, Thermoelectric Cooling Modules, and Smart Alarming Systems for managing decay heat during nuclear microreactor transportation. These technologies have the potential to evolve into a Type B-certified transport container, ensuring safe and efficient transportation in compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations.
NANO Nuclear's involvement reflects its dedication to advancing safe, efficient, and scalable microreactor technologies, recognizing that solving transportation challenges is crucial for widespread deployment. The successful completion of Phase I could lead to a Phase II expansion, where NANO Nuclear may actively collaborate in further development, including a full-scale prototype and real-world testing.
