NANO Nuclear Energy Receives DOE GAIN Voucher to Develop Uncertainty Quantification Framework for KRONOS MMR System

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. has received a GAIN (Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear) Voucher Award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The award will support the development of a validated Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) framework specifically tailored to the company’s KRONOS MMR energy system. The project will be carried out in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), one of the DOE’s premier research facilities.

The initiative aims to enhance the reliability and safety of NANO Nuclear’s micro-modular reactor technology by creating a robust UQ framework. This framework is expected to provide advanced modeling and simulation capabilities, enabling precise predictions about system performance under various conditions. ORNL will contribute its expertise in nuclear science and engineering to assist in validating this framework, ensuring it meets rigorous industry standards. The GAIN program facilitates partnerships between private companies and national laboratories, providing access to technical resources that accelerate innovation in nuclear energy technologies.
