Nano to begin drilling next week in Illinois
It’s been a good month for Nano Nuclear in the state of Illinois. On October 7, the Office of Governor J.B. Pritzker announced that the company would be awarded $6.8 million from the Reimagining Energy and Vehicles in Illinois Act to help fund the development of its new regional research and development facility in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook.

An automated gravimetric titration system for uranium has been developed, evaluated, qualified for analysis in the laboratory’s Quality Assurance Program, and placed in daily operation for the analysis of uranium-bearing safeguards samples at the New Brunswick Laboratory (NBL). The system, a direct application of the “NBL Modified Titrimetric Method,” is capable of nearly doubling the output of an analyst, while maintaining a mean percent error and relative standard deviation of <0.10% over the range of 15 to 150 mg of uranium. The system is capable of analyzing all sample materials analyzed by manual titration at NBL with comparable degrees of accuracy and precision.
