Nano Nuclear wins Air Force contract for Kronos MMR
New York City–based advanced nuclear technology developer Nano Nuclear Energy has been awarded a Direct-to-Phase II Small Business Innovation Research contract for its Kronos micro modular reactor (MMR) by AFWERX, the innovation and venture arm of the U.S. Air Force. The contract calls for AFWERX, with the 11th Civil Engineering Squadron, to explore the feasibility of deploying the Kronos MMR Energy System at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) in Washington, D.C.

The DIFfusion of Actinides in EleCtrorefiner (DIFAC) computer code has been developed and is used to calculate the variation of the anode potential with time during constant current anodic dissolution of U, Zr, and U-Zr alloy in molten LiCl-KCl eutectic. A few algorithms are proposed within the framework of the DIFAC code for modeling the activation and concentration overpotentials during anodic dissolution. These algorithms are based on an iterative search procedure and would later be applied to modeling the electrorefining of a multicomponent metallic fuel system.
