Anuj Dubey, Ph.D. and Congjin Ding, Ph.D., join the Nuclear Technology and Engineering Team with a focus on the development of 'ODIN'.

New York, N.Y., Sept. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:NNE) ("NANO Nuclear" or "the Company"), a vertically integrated advanced nuclear energy and technology company developing portable clean energy solutions, today announced the additions of Anuj Dubey, Ph.D. and Congjin Ding, Ph.D. to its Nuclear Technical and Engineering Team.

Dr. Dubey, alongside Dr. Ding, will bring their expertise and experience of Euratom nuclear research programs to add to the burgeoning expertise of the the Company's 'ODIN' microreactor development team, led by Prof. Ian Farnan NANO Nuclear Lead of Nuclear Fuel Cycle, Radiation and Materials. Among the variety of engineering tasks, their focus will be on collecting and analyzing data from the test rigs, the construction of which marks a significant phase in the development of microreactor. These test rigs are crucial for physical tests, which will be invaluable for collecting real-world data, validating models and advancing the licensing process.

The 'ODIN' microreactor is designed to utilize off-the-shelf components with high technology readiness levels (TRL). It will utilize conventional fuel form with up to 20% enrichment, providing a large experience database to help minimize the required development and testing program schedule and costs, and will operate at temperatures that minimize adverse effects on coolant and reduce thermal stress.
