NANO Nuclear Energy to Deploy First Microreactor on U.S. University Campus

Urbana, Wednesday, 31 December 2025.
On December 31, 2025, NANO Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) signed a pivotal Memorandum of Understanding with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to construct the KRONOS MMR™ energy system. This collaboration aims to establish the first operational microreactor on American university grounds, a significant milestone for decentralized power infrastructure and zero-carbon energy targets. Despite a slight market dip to $24.89 following the announcement, the company maintains a strong financial footing with $580 million in cash to support this regulatory-heavy endeavor. This project not only advances portable nuclear technology but also positions the university as a central hub for energy innovation.
