Nano Nuclear and Howden advance KRONOS microreactor helium circulator collaboration to detailed design phase
NNE•Collaboration advances to detailed design
- NANO Nuclear entered a collaboration with Howden, a Baker Hughes business, to engineer the KRONOS MMR primary helium circulator.
- Work advanced from preliminary engineering to detailed design, supporting the KRONOS micro modular reactor’s commercial readiness.
- Howden is leading circulator design using helium turbomachinery expertise, targeting performance, manufacturability, integration, and long-term reliability.
- Next steps include component qualification, materials testing, design optimization, and manufacturing planning toward prototype construction, licensing, and future deployment.
