Nano to begin drilling next week in Illinois
It’s been a good month for Nano Nuclear in the state of Illinois. On October 7, the Office of Governor J.B. Pritzker announced that the company would be awarded $6.8 million from the Reimagining Energy and Vehicles in Illinois Act to help fund the development of its new regional research and development facility in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook.

A. Selection, Production, and Development of Alloys for HTGR Component | Status of Metallic Materials Development for Application in Advanced High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor / Material | doi.org/10.13182/NT84-A33460

The three completed stages of an alloy development program aimed at defining a nickel chromium-based alloy resistant to carburization in simulated high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) helium with high-temperature strength similar to alloy Inconel-617 show that alloys based on nickel and 10% chromium with 10 to 16% tungsten and 1.1 to 3.2% titanium exhibit good corrosion resistance in dry simulated HTGR helium and have short-time creep properties similar to Inconel-617. The alloys are readily hot and cold workable and show potentially good structural stability.
