NRC Licensing Moves Forward for the KRONOS MMR
The Construction Permit Application for the KRONOS Micro Modular Reactor (MMR), planned for deployment at the University of Illinois, received formal acceptance from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Company leadership expects an environmental assessment in Q1 2027, a safety evaluation by Q3 2027, groundbreaking during the second half of 2027, and first power in 2030.
“The NRC’s formal acceptance of our Construction Permit Application for the KRONOS MMR Energy System marks one of the most important milestones in our development program and reflects the maturity of the technology as we advance toward construction readiness,” said James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Nuclear Energy.
STS Deal Brings in Nuclear Logistics Revenue
NANO Nuclear also closed its acquisition of Secured Transportation Services LLC (STS), a company specializing in nuclear materials logistics and transport. For 2025, STS posted $7.1 million in audited revenue and $1.3 million in net income, followed by $3.9 million in unaudited revenue over the first six months of 2026.
“We also expanded our vertical integration with the acquisition of STS to strengthen our fuel-cycle capabilities, making NANO Nuclear a revenue generating microreactor developer,” said Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman of NANO Nuclear Energy.
Staffing and Commercial Pipeline Both Grow
Staffing climbed sharply to 85 employees and contractors by June 30, 2026, up from 31 a year prior. The company also completed a 1-gigawatt feasibility study with manufacturer BaRupOn LLC for a data-center power project and signed a memorandum of understanding with Supermicro to explore pairing KRONOS with AI server infrastructure. In a separate development, NANO Nuclear received an AFWERX SBIR Phase I award to advance KRONOS for U.S. Air Force applications.
Company leadership discussed the results during a webcast that same day at 5 p.m. Eastern.
