NANO Nuclear Energy Bolsters IP Portfolio with Four New Patent Applications

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE), a leading advanced nuclear energy and technology company, has further strengthened its intellectual property portfolio with the filing of four new utility patent applications related to its Annular Linear Induction Pump (ALIP) technology. The company announced this development on February 17, 2025, highlighting its commitment to innovation and protection of its intellectual property.

The ALIP technology, acquired by NANO Nuclear last year, is a core component in the development of advanced molten-salt and liquid-metal nuclear reactors. By utilizing a time-varying magnetic field, ALIPs enable the movement of conductive fluids without mechanical components, reducing wear and maintenance requirements while increasing efficiency. This technology is considered a key-enabling technology for the development of advanced nuclear reactors, not only for NANO Nuclear's microreactors in development but also as a third-party commercial opportunity for other advanced nuclear reactor systems.

The newly filed patent applications include:

1. Patent Application # 19/030,148, titled "Integrated platform and method for optimizing an electromagnetic pump," which relates to the development of software for the design of annular linear induction pumps.
2. Patent Application # 19/030,130, titled "Electromagnetic pump system and method for moving conducting fluid," which relates to the design of the next generation of annular linear induction pumps.
3. Patent Application # 19/030,098, titled "Electromagnetic pump and method for manufacturing the same," which relates to the advanced manufacturing of annular linear induction pumps.
4. Patent Application # 19/030,068, titled "Cooling system for electromagnetic pump system," which relates to the design of a micro-channel cooling system, using advanced manufacturing methods, for annular linear induction pumps operating at very high temperature.

These intellectual properties are expected to provide enhanced component life span and operation metrics in all advanced molten-salt and liquid-metal reactors, including NANO Nuclear's KRONOS MMR™, LOKI MMR™, and ODIN portable microreactor, all of which are currently in development.



The filing of these additional utility patents further bolsters NANO Nuclear's intellectual property portfolio and helps to ensure the protection of its progress in developing this key enabling technology. The company believes that the ALIP technology will be instrumental in the development and optimization of the next generation of advanced nuclear reactors, and it is pleased with the progress led by Dr. Carlos O. Maidana, Head of Thermal Hydraulics and Space Program, through the U.S. Department of Energy's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III program.

In conclusion, NANO Nuclear Energy's recent patent filings for the ALIP technology demonstrate the company's dedication to innovation and intellectual property protection. As the advanced nuclear energy sector continues to grow, NANO Nuclear's robust IP portfolio positions it as a leader in the development and commercialization of cutting-edge nuclear energy solutions.
