NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) (“NANO Nuclear” or “the Company”), a leading advanced nuclear energy and technology company focused on developing clean energy solutions, today announced that it has engaged aRobotics Company, a leading innovator in robotics fabrication, inspection, engineering and testing, to oversee the multimillion dollar build out of NANO Nuclear’s recently announced demonstration facility in Westchester County, New York. aRobotics will also assist NANO Nuclear with the fabrication of key components for the demonstration facility.

Under the agreement, following completion of the facility’s retrofitting, aRobotics Company will manage the construction of certain non-nuclear elements crucial to the design and operation of NANO Nuclear’s four reactors in development: ZEUS, ODIN, LOKI MMR^TM and KRONOS MMR^TM. This includes leading the development and fabrication of custom sensors and equipment needed to evaluate demonstration components. Additionally, aRobotics will support NANO Nuclear’s ongoing SBIR Phase III project for its Annular Linear Induction Pump (ALIP) technology, a key enabling technology within NANO Nuclear’s suite of advanced nuclear energy systems.

“We are delighted to work alongside NANO Nuclear and its management team to deliver a sophisticated demonstration facility for the company,” said Akaash Kancharla, Chief Executive Officer of aRobotics Company. “Though microreactors rely on fission processes to generate energy, there are numerous non-nuclear components which are critical to the operation of these energy systems. The experience we’ve gained through our extensive engineering work with the Department of Defense and large defense prime contractors will be instrumental as we support NANO Nuclear in advancing its next phase of reactor development.”
