Safer nuclear fuel transportation solution achieves design milestone

NANO Nuclear Energy, a New York-based company, has reached a significant conceptual design milestone for an advanced, proprietary transportation package specifically designed for High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) fuel. This development supports next-generation nuclear reactors and leverages NANO Nuclear’s exclusively licensed nuclear fuel transportation basket technology, created with technical support from Gesellschaft für Nuklear-Service mbH (GNS), a global leader in radioactive material transport and storage. The collaboration combines NANO Nuclear’s innovative fuel basket design with GNS’s extensive expertise in nuclear transportation, licensing, and manufacturing. The HALEU transportation package under development is designed to accommodate multiple advanced nuclear fuel types, including uranium oxide, TRISO particle fuels, uranium-zirconium hydride, uranium mononitride, and molten salt reactor fuels. This broad compatibility aims to support diverse fuel requirements for emerging microreactors, small modular reactors (SMRs), and advanced reactor technologies.
