NRC Kicks Off Formal Review for NANO Nuclear's KRONOS Microreactor, Setting 2027 Timeline
Summary
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has initiated formal review activities for Nano Nuclear Energy's KRONOS MMR™ Construction Permit Application. This follows the NRC's formal acceptance of the permit in May and the initial submission in April. The move is a significant step in the regulatory licensing process, de-risking the path to commercial deployment of its microreactor. The NRC's anticipated review schedule projects environmental assessment completion by Spring 2027 and safety evaluation by early Fall 2027, consistent with the company's goal for construction to begin in the second half of 2027.
