That’s quite a lot to fit into your head. Now imagine this power plant, about 800 or so acres, condensed into a box that can fit inside a shipping container. That is the kind of microreactor that Nano Nuclear Energy (NNE 3.78%) is trying to get certified.
It’s a radical idea, with far-reaching implications. A reactor of that size could fit close to data centers, where electricity generated from the reactor could give life to artificial intelligence (AI) around the clock. These reactors could also be shipped to military zones, Arctic research facilities, mining camps, even underwater and into space — two extreme environments that…
