NANO Nuclear Energy has been selected for a new AFWERX Small Business Innovation Research Phase I award, giving the company another opportunity to advance its KRONOS MMR Energy System with the Department of the Air Force. The new Phase I award is framed as a broad research and development agreement. NANO said the contract is focused on using KRONOS to “address the most pressing challenges in the DAF [Department of the Air Force].” The distinction between this award and NANO’s previous Air Force contract is worth noting. Still, NANO now has multiple active Air Force engagements instead of a single feasibility study.
