NANO Nuclear Completes Assembly of Its Proprietary Annular Linear Induction Pump Technology Prototype for Critical Test Loop Validation In SBIR Phase III Program
Milestone demonstrates NANO Nuclear's ability to bring advanced nuclear technology from initial design to construction and demonstration New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 23, 2025) - 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 its proprietary, patent pending Annular Linear Induction Pump (ALIP) technology for nuclear reactors has been assembled onto a test loop and integrated to a controllable test setup for variable design validation at NANO Nuclear's Demonstration Facility in Westchester County, New York. As NANO Nuclear continues progress with its microreactor programs, including its lead KRONOS MMR TM Energy System project, the ALIP assembly milestone demonstrates NANO Nuclear's leadership in advanced nuclear energy technology and its ability to move technology from initial design to construction and demonstration. NANO Nuclear hopes to be able to start commercial sales activities for ALIP by the end of this year or next year. This milestone also underscores the utility of NANO Nuclear's Westchester Demonstration Facility, which became operational earlier this year. "This initial milestone with ALIP shows in a small but very promising way what we can do as a company in the real world," said James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Nuclear. "ALIP is an enabling technology that supports the development of next-generation reactors utilizing molten salts or liquid metals, and advancing ALIP through the SBIR Phase III process has allowed us to mature the system extensively, refining its design, validating key performance metrics, and preparing it for integration into demonstration-scale platforms at our custom-built Westchester facility. This progress not only enhances the technology's readiness for deployment but also opens a clear pathway toward revenue generating activities for NANO Nuclear as we progress work on our broader portfolio of advanced nuclear technologies." The ALIP technology is a thermal management and distribution system within NANO Nuclear's suite of advanced nuclear energy technologies. It operates using electromagnetic, in place of mechanical, pumps, and could serve as a critical component in the development of advanced molten-salt and liquid-metal nuclear reactors. As previously announced, earlier this year, NANO Nuclear collaborated with aRobotics Company, a leading innovator in robotics fabrication, inspection, engineering and testing, to support NANO Nuclear's ongoing SBIR Phase III program for ALIP, which was previously funded by the U.S Department of Energy. Data from the test and validation work being done will be leveraged to support the SBIR Phase III program. Figure 1 - NANO Nuclear Energy 's ALIP Technology (center) integrated on the Test Loop inside Custom-Engineered Thermal Chamber at the Demonstration Facility in Westchester County, New York. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: "Developing the first iteration of NANO Nuclear's ALIP and its adjacent test instrumentation enables us to collect crucial data and advance this project towards its ultimate goal of commercialization," said Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman of NANO Nuclear. "With the support of aRobotics Company, we plan to steadily develop and test additional generations of ALIP as we improve the technology's readiness for the market." To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: "We believe ALIP will have a number of applications upon development including in the space and defense sectors," said Akaash Kancharla, CEO of aRobotics Company. "The procedural knowledge and material science advanced by this work will have implications far beyond this useful product." By utilizing a time-varying magnetic field, ALIPs enable the movement of conductive fluids without mechanical components, reducing wear and maintenance requirements while increasing efficiency. Current efforts at the NANO Nuclear Demonstration Facility are geared towards the development of the first operational ALIP prototype and a custom designed test loop for research data collection, alongside a magnetic field mapping system, for the collection of manufacturing and performance data. Future work will include testing and characterizing pump performance with different working fluids, simulating component failure scenarios, and material testing. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: About NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. NANO Nuclear Energy Inc.

Advanced Fuel Transportation Inc. (AFT), a NANO Nuclear subsidiary, is led by former executives from the largest transportation company in the world aiming to build a North American transportation company that will provide commercial quantities of HALEU fuel to small modular reactors, microreactor companies, national laboratories, military, and DOE programs. Through NANO Nuclear, AFT is the exclusive licensee of a patented high-capacity HALEU fuel transportation basket developed by three major U.S. national nuclear laboratories and funded by the Department of Energy. Assuming development and commercialization, AFT is expected to form part of the only vertically integrated nuclear fuel business of its kind in North America. HALEU Energy Fuel Inc. (HEF), a NANO Nuclear subsidiary, is focusing on the future development of a domestic source for a High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) fuel fabrication pipeline for NANO Nuclear's own microreactors as well as the broader advanced nuclear reactor industry. NANO Nuclear Space Inc. (NNS), a NANO Nuclear subsidiary, is exploring the potential commercial applications of NANO Nuclear's developing micronuclear reactor technology in space. NNS is focusing on applications such as the LOKI MMR ™ system and other power systems for extraterrestrial projects and human sustaining environments, and potentially propulsion technology for long haul space missions. NNS' initial focus will be on cis-lunar applications, referring to uses in the space region extending from Earth to the area surrounding the Moon's surface.
