UIUC submits MMR construction permit application
The University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign, in partnership with Nano Nuclear Energy, has submitted a construction permit application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for construction of a Kronos micro modular reactor (MMR). This is the first major step in the two-part 10 CFR Part 50 licensing process for the research and test reactor and is the culmination of years of technical refinement and regulatory alignment.
The team chose to engage with the NRC in a preapplication readiness assessment, providing the agency with draft versions of the majority of the CPA’s technical content for feedback, which is expected to ensure a high-quality application.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) has upended the way organizations and individuals interact and communicate. As we practice social distancing and comply with “stay at home” orders, nuclear energy communicators have found ways to continue to tell the story of nuclear energy. This panel will feature insights and information from communications leaders who each have prevailed over the challenges that the coronavirus era presents for communicating with internal and external stakeholders.
