Nano Nuclear Energy launches irradiation testing prograom with MIT

NANO Nuclear Energy (NNE) announced the launch of a major irradiation testing program in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering. The two-year collaboration will investigate the thermal and radiolytic behavior of nitrate molten salts, commonly referred to as “solar salts”, to assess their viability in advanced nuclear energy systems for thermal energy storage and cooling applications. “We are proud to support this world-class irradiation study at MIT,” said Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman of NANO Nuclear. “Understanding how molten salts perform under radiation is essential to unlocking next-generation reactor designs, and this facility gives us the capabilities to do that without the use of any nuclear materials.”
