Nano Nuclear Energy completes retrofit on NY Nuclear Technology testing facility

NANO Nuclear Energy (NNE) announced the completion of the retrofitting of its multimillion-dollar demonstration and testing facility in Westchester County, New York. The facility is now ready to play a central role in supporting the non-nuclear mechanical and thermal test work necessary to develop its microreactors and commercial products, such as its Annular Linear Induction Pump, a critical non-nuclear subsystem for liquid metal and molten salt reactor technologies which NANO Nuclear plans to separately commercialize in the coming years. Testing at the Westchester facility is expected to commence shortly and continue throughout 2025 and into the future. The data generated will contribute to the final design and integration strategy for ALIP in both terrestrial and space reactor applications. The facility retrofit was executed in collaboration with aRobotics Company, a New York-based engineering and advanced fabrication firm specializing in robotic systems, component inspection, and high-precision prototyping. The firm led the mechanical build-out of the facility and the fabrication of test hardware and support structures for the development of NANO Nuclear’s products, as well as NANO Nuclear’s ongoing SBIR Phase III commercialization program for ALIP.
