US-based nuclear reactor technology company Nano Nuclear Energy has assembled the first reactor core hardware of its Zeus micro-modular reactor (MMR) for initial non-nuclear testing.
The assembled hardware consists of a 1:2 scale block, precisely engineered to be representative of a fuel element of the Zeus microreactor core.
The New York-headquartered company said the milestone represents a major advancement in its continued development of its proprietary microreactor technology.
