Nuclear Energy and Food Insecurity

Nano Nuclear Energy is advancing research on the development on mobile zero-power reactors aimed at powering residential, commercial, and major development projects. The company envisions deployable reactors with operational teams offering innovative energy solutions. A potential application includes vertical farming, where these reactors would generate power to support food production. Nano nuclear energy. CEO, James Walker,

“We began some of our discussions with vertical farms companies to try and find the best fit. Because the idea here is that when we build our prototype, we'll demonstrate that the prototype can power on these vertical farms. And the fortunate part is that the energy drawdown for a lot of these vertical farms is $1 significant amount of the total power of the microreactor. So if it is a community of 1,000 people, 2,000 people, 3,000, we could still supply them power that could be used for industry, for medical facilities, but also a small section of that could be utilized, then for food.”

Food Security continues to be an issue globally, and Nano Nuclear offers a package to 1,000s of locations across the world to have that power source coupled with food supply.

“If there are adverse weather conditions with boats, food doesn't get there, diesel doesn't get there. In winter, you might have issues with blizzards that stop say northern can make Canadian communities getting diesel and food and that kind of thing. James Walker with Nano Nuclear Energy.”
