Key Highlights:
NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) filed four utility patent applications with the USPTO for its Annular Linear Induction Pump (ALIP) technology.
ALIP technology enables electromagnetic fluid movement, reducing maintenance needs and improving efficiency in advanced nuclear reactors.
The innovation applies to molten-salt and liquid-metal reactors, with additional use cases in space power, propulsion, industrial cooling, and defense.
The SBIR Phase III project is refining ALIP technology, led by Dr. Carlos O. Maidana, Head of Thermal Hydraulics and Space Program at NANO Nuclear.
NANO Nuclear plans to integrate ALIP into its KRONOS MMR™, LOKI MMR™, and ODIN microreactor systems while commercializing the technology for third-party use.
