About Us
Who We Are
NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. is an emerging, advanced technology-driven nuclear energy company seeking to become a commercially focused, diversified, vertically integrated and company across four business lines: (i) cutting edge portable microreactor technology, (ii) nuclear fuel fabrication, (iii) nuclear fuel and waste transportation and (iv) nuclear industry consulting services.
Led by a world-class nuclear engineering team, NANO Nuclear’s products in technical development are “ZEUS”, a solid core battery reactor, and “ODIN”, a low-pressure coolant reactor, each representing advanced developments in portable, on-demand capable, advanced nuclear microreactors.
HALEU Energy Fuel Inc., a NANO nuclear subsidiary, is focusing on the future development of a domestic source for a High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) fuel fabrication pipeline for NANO Nuclear’s own microreactors as well as the broader advanced nuclear reactor industry.
Advanced Fuel Transportation Inc. (AFT), a NANO nuclear subsidiary, is aiming to build a North American transportation company that will provide commercial quantities of HALEU fuel to microreactor companies, national laboratories, military, and DOE programs. AFT is the exclusive licensee of a patented high-capacity HALEU fuel transportation basket developed by three major U.S. national nuclear laboratories and funded by the Department of Energy. Assuming development and commercialization, AFT is expected to be the only business of its kind in North America.

Our Vision
NANO Nuclear Energy is looking to enter the microreactors market by focusing on designing its own nano nuclear reactors which could be deployed to remote locations to provide energy to residential, commercial, major mining, industrial, shipping, oil and gas, military, medical use and construction projects. Additionally, the Company has the bandwidth to invest in optimization research for microreactors, and seeks collaborative partnerships to which it can deploy financing, provide personnel, and advance technology and development opportunities.
NANO Nuclear Energy intends to progress its collaborative research projects towards development, rigs and models, zero-power reactors, and ultimately towards reactor manufacture and deployments. The Company envisions readily replaceable mobile reactors which it can provide to customers, along with operative personnel, to power projects, residential and commercial enterprises, and major development projects.
“SMRs offer a range of different benefits which complement large reactors. Given their size, small reactors are well-suited for remote areas and in grids that are too small to host a gigawatt-scale nuclear reactor.”
“A further benefit of SMRs is the prospect of so-called modularity, with most, if not all, components of the reactors being manufactured and assembled in a factory before being shipped to a site to be installed.”
