History

Was established in 2021 by Jay Jiang Yu, founder and President of Nano Nuclear Energy. The CEO is James Walker. its headquarters is in New York City.[4][5] In 2022, Nano Nuclear Energy appointed Winston Chow, former senior advisor to the US Department of Energy for East Asia, as chief policy officer (CPO), Ian Farnan, president of the Cambridge Nuclear Energy Center, as leader for the nuclear fuel cycle, radiation and materials and Eugene Shwageraus, professor of nuclear energy systems engineering in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, as lead member for nuclear reactor engineering. The Company also appointed Lassina Zerbo, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Rwanda Atomic Energy Board (RAEB), as Chairman of the Executive Advisory Board for Africa, and Jeffrey L. Binder, as Director of Laboratory and Nuclear Technologies.[6][7][8]

Since 2023, it has become an official member of the US Nuclear Industry Council (USNIC), which advocates for the global advanced nuclear energy and supply chain, and the Nuclear Institute , based in the United Kingdom.[9][10][11] Obtained funding of $4.14 million to finance market expansion.[12] Participated in the New Hampshire Commission investigating the implementation of nuclear generation reactor technology in the state.[13]

Nano Nuclear Energy was selected as a founding member of the U.S. Department of Energy's HALEU (High Assay Low Enriched Uranium) Consortium established in 2022 to support availability of nationwide research, development, demonstration, and commercial use.[14][15][16]

Microreactors

In 2023, the Idaho National Laboratory jointly signed a strategic partnership project agreement for a nuclear fuel manufacturing capacity, where micro-reactor products were made; Solid core battery reactor and a low-pressure coolant reactor, named as ZEUS and ODIN, includes passive safety systems, such as conduction and convection, to dissipate heat without complicated mechanical systems.[17][18]
