Over time, Nano Nuclear plans to “assemble, display, and in the end commercialize our Kronos MMR Vitality System.”
Nano Nuclear describes Kronos as “a stationary high-temperature gas-cooled reactor that’s in building allow pre-application engagement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Fee (NRC).”
In different phrases, it isn’t accepted for building or use but — however Nano is engaged on that.
Is Nano Nuclear inventory a purchase?
In the present day’s announcement is yet one more step towards Nano Nuclear’s objective of turning Kronos right into a viable industrial nuclear product — and never simply Kronos. Nano can also be growing no less than two different kinds of nuclear reactors, a stable core battery reactor referred to as Zeus and a transportable reactor for spacecraft referred to as Loki MMR. As if that weren’t sufficient, Nano is additionally working to supply its personal high-assay low-enriched uranium gasoline (HALEU) and an “superior gasoline transportation” subsidiary for transporting HALEU from manufacturing plant to nuke plant.
So Nano Nuclear inventory is juggling loads of knives right here. It is also burning a good amount of money — practically $23 million per yr. The excellent news is that with greater than $200 million internet of money, Nano Nuclear has the cash it must survive if no less than one in all these bets works out for it.
