Modular Reactor Tide Rising: Nano Nuclear To Study Siting Multiple MMRs To Generate 1GW Energy In Texas
One day after we observed that only a boom in onsite, "behind the meter" power supply energizing America's hundreds (soon thousands) of data centers - i.e., small/micro modular reactors or gas tubines not connected to the broader power grid - would allow the US to dominate the AI "arms race" between Washington and Beijing without sending electric bills skyrocketing...
... modular reactor developer Nano Nuclear announced a feasibility study in coordination with California-based industrial conglomerate, BaRupOn, for the deployment of up to 1 GWe of nuclear energy using Nano's Kronos high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) reactor design, profiled here a month ago. The Kronos design is rated to 15 MWe, which could mean as many as 70 reactors would be deployed at BaRupOn's Liberty American Multi-Sourced Power (LAMP) and Innovation Hub being developed in Texas.

Watch: Modular Energy Pioneer Nano Nuclear Begins Drilling First Reactor In Illinois
US modular nuclear technology pioneer, NANO Nuclear Energy, is hosting a milestone ceremony today at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to mark progress on the research and prototype development of its KRONOS MMR Energy System, a micro nuclear reactor. The ceremony is being live streamed on the company's website here (or click on the image below).
Event speakers include NANO Nuclear leaders Jay Yu, James Walker, and Florent Heidet, Ph.D., who will discuss the company's strategy. Advisory Board Members Retired Vice Admiral Charles Leidig Jr. and Retired General Wesley Clark will address military and microgrid applications.
As previously reported, amid the broader shift to advanced nuclear energy, NANO recently announced a key step in the commercialization of its KRONOS micro modular reactor, when it unveiled that drilling and site characterization would begin today.

NANO Nuclear To Begin Drilling for KRONOS Microreactor At University of Illinois
Amid a broader shift to advanced nuclear energy which we have been documenting for the past 18 months, NANO Nuclear Energy announced a major step in developing its KRONOS micro modular reactor (MMR), confirming that geotechnical drilling and site characterization with its development partner, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, will begin on October 24, 2025.
At a time when electricity bills are exploding across the country to feed ravenous AI data centers using conventional sources of electricity which are woefully insufficient to power the chatbot revolution, new technologies are coming online to power the grid at a much lower cost.
