NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. announced on March 12, 2025, the addition of Andrew Steer, Ph.D., as its Head of Regulatory Engagement. Dr. Steer is a recognized specialist in nuclear safety case development with over 18 years of experience in the nuclear industry. He previously served as Head of Licensing and Regulation at MoltexFLEX, a British nuclear energy company developing advanced small modular molten salt reactors. Dr. Steer led the strategy, scope, and development of safety, environmental, and security cases for the FLEX reactor, working with regulators and supporting safety-informed design development. His deep understanding of nuclear safety cases and regulatory practices will be especially valuable as NANO Nuclear moves forward with reactor licensing and engages with both U.S. and international regulators. He will work with NANO Nuclear’s U.K.-based nuclear science and engineering partner Cambridge AtomWorks. This appointment exemplifies NANO Nuclear’s vision to assemble a world-class team to oversee the development and licensing of its advanced reactor solutions. Dr. Steer’s leadership in regulatory engagement is expected to help NANO Nuclear navigate the complexities of the licensing process, ensuring that all essential considerations, including environmental factors, remain a priority as designs advance towards demonstration and commercialization.
