NANO Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) has launched a major two-year irradiation testing program in collaboration with MIT's Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering. The study, backed by over $500,000 in R&D investment from NANO Nuclear, will investigate the thermal and radiolytic behavior of nitrate molten salts ("solar salts") for nuclear applications.

Under the supervision of Prof. Koroush Shirvan, researchers will use MIT's Gammacell 220F Co-60 irradiator to study salt materials' behavior under gamma irradiation. The project employs advanced diagnostics including magnetic sector residual gas analyzer, laser flash analysis, and post-irradiation spectroscopic techniques to assess off-gassing behavior, thermal degradation, and material stability.

Set to conclude in 2027, this research aims to enhance understanding of molten salts in radiation environments, crucial for developing next-generation reactor designs and improving safety and performance models.
