NANO Nuclear Completes Initial Full-System Testing of its Patent-Pending, Proprietary Annular Linear Induction Pump Technology, Validating Key Design Features Designed for Long-Term Operational Durability
Rhea-AI Summary
NANO Nuclear (NASDAQ: NNE) completed initial full-system testing of its patent-pending Annular Linear Induction Pump (ALIP) on Nov 19, 2025, validating key design features aimed at long-term operational durability.
Tests at the company’s Westchester demonstration facility reached fluid temperatures up to 350°C, confirmed coil ruggedization and coil insulation performance, and produced magnetic-field data used to optimize pump magnetic behavior. Parallel validation of precision manufacturing and electromagnetic quality-control processes was also completed, supporting consistent high-volume production. The company says it will move toward pre-commercialization to position ALIP as a low-maintenance electromagnetic alternative for molten-salt, liquid-metal, terrestrial, and in-space reactor cooling applications.

Company making progress toward eventual commercialization of the pump, which is designed for deployment in advanced small and micro modular reactor designs
New York, N.Y., Nov. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) (“NANO Nuclear” or “the Company”), a leading advanced nuclear micro modular reactor and technology company focused on developing clean energy solutions, today announced that it has executed the first full tests of its proprietary, patent pending Annular Linear Induction Pump (ALIP) at up to 350oC fluid temperature at the company’s demonstration facility in Westchester County, New York.
The ALIP functions as a thermal management and distribution system intended to compliment advanced nuclear energy platforms utilizing high boiling-point, high thermal-conductivity coolants, such as molten salts, lead eutectics, and liquid metals. Utilizing electromagnetic pumping mechanisms in place of conventional mechanical systems, ALIP is designed to power critical heat-transfer operations with exceptionally long mean time before failure and may serve as an enabling subsystem for advanced molten-salt and liquid-metal emerging small and micro modular reactor designs.

The tests were held at NANO Nuclear’s demonstration facility in collaboration with aRoboticsCompany, a leading innovator in robotics fabrication, inspection, engineering and testing, validating the performance of new coil ruggedization and coil insulation features. The goal of the tests were to maximize ALIP’s lifespan in environments where maintenance or component replacement is not an option such as in space, undersea, and nuclear applications. The test outcomes have also provided valuable data for optimizing the pump’s magnetic behavior using novel, highly-engineered materials and unique component geometries.
“The completion of this comprehensive testing phase validates the ALIP system’s core design and durability, marking an important step toward the eventual commercialization of this proprietary technology,” said James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Nuclear. “Importantly, these results show that NANO Nuclear can bring advanced technology from the design room to real world operations. Following the successful closed-loop flow test performed earlier this year, we introduced targeted design modifications to increase the magnetic field magnitude and improve overall system performance. The latest validation tests were conducted to assess the viability of these enhancements, and the results confirm that the modifications perform as intended. This outcome positions us to move forward with pre-commercialization activities and advance the technology toward market readiness in a disciplined and efficient manner.”

In addition to the core ALIP technology, a full stack of precision manufacturing processes (such as orbital laser welding) and electromagnetic quality control systems (such as 3D hi-resolution magnetic field mapping) were validated this year at NANO Nuclear’s demonstration facility. These parallel advancements would enable multiple ALIPs to be produced with very consistent, predictable behavior. Leveraging these production and quality control technologies, NANO Nuclear will focus on boosting ALIP’s reliability, lifespan, and efficiency while also lowering its high-volume production cost.
NANO Nuclear expects to move into the next phase of its ALIP commercialization program in the near future, positioning the technology as a competitive, zero-maintenance alternative to mechanical molten-metal pumps for both terrestrial and in-space applications.
“We continue to advance our patent-pending ALIP technology toward commercialization,” said Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman of NANO Nuclear. “The latest test results provide important data that help to guide our design decisions and position us to offer a viable electromagnetic alternative to mechanical molten-metal pumps, particularly in hard-to-service environments. This progress strengthens our long-term development roadmap as we prepare to move toward eventual market introduction.”
