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.

Calculations have been carried out to determine the effect of Fe-Ni-Co-V alloys on fusion reactor neutronic performance. The radiation damage in the first structural wall and the tritium breeding ratio were calculated as a function of alloy composition using the tritium breeding blanket module of the Experimental Power Reactor as the reference design. The atomic displacement rate was found to be approximately constant for all alloy combinations. However, the gas production and tritium breeding exhibit reasonably large variations (∼20%) as the cobalt concentration is increased in the alloy.
