An important step forward for advanced nuclear energy in Indiana. At Senator Jim Banks’ Northeast Indiana Defense Summit in Fort Wayne, Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao announced plans to build small modular reactors (SMRs) at Naval Weapon Systems Crane, to meet the urgent energy resilience needs for both the Department of the Navy and the Department of the Army. This announcement builds on the leadership of Congresswoman Erin Houchin, whose efforts helped position Crane as a potential site for Navy SMR deployment while advocating for an expanded number of candidate installations across the Trans-Atlantic region. For FANCO, this announcement reinforces what we have been advocating: Indiana can lead in deploying advanced nuclear energy to strengthen national security, provide reliable power, and expand economic opportunity. With our team's decades of real-world nuclear engineering and operational experience, FANCO is well-positioned to support the Department of War’s Fortress America initiative, particularly here in Indiana, where we see significant potential for advanced nuclear deployment. We are proud to support Senator Banks and his team, Congresswoman Houchin's efforts to advance this opportunity, and the continued leadership of Senator Todd Young and Congressman Mark Messmer in advancing Indiana's nuclear energy future. FANCO looks forward to continuing the work with the Department of the Navy to turn Indiana’s nuclear potential into operating capability. @Erin_Houchin @SenatorBanks @RepMessmer @SenToddYoung @NEINDefense @HungCao_VA

FANCO team members attended the Northeast Indiana Defense Summit in Fort Wayne, hosted by U.S. Senator Jim Banks. The event brought together military leadership, government officials, and industry representatives to discuss national defense priorities, emerging technologies, and Indiana’s role in supporting national security. Discussions included the future of Naval Support Activity Crane and the potential for advanced nuclear energy to support energy resilience and critical infrastructure. Congresswoman Erin Houchin’s leadership helped advance Crane’s consideration for small modular reactor (SMR) deployment, alongside efforts to broaden the Navy’s pool of potential installation sites. We appreciate Senator Banks and his team for organizing the event and providing an opportunity to connect with leaders across the defense and energy sectors. #nuclearenergy #futureofenergy #indianaenergy @MichelleCatts

FANCO is advancing a regulatory pathway with the NRC to support earlier power generation through Bridge Power. The approach could allow conventional infrastructure installation ahead of EAGL-1 nuclear construction.

Advanced nuclear innovation needs a path to deployment. FANCO's EAGL-1 is designed for 240 MWe of utility-scale output, combining modular design, a factory-oriented approach, and low-pressure lead-bismuth cooling. Engineered with real-world deployment in mind.  #NuclearEnergy #AdvancedNuclear #FastReactors #SMR #eagl1

A reactor can work on paper. Operating one reveals a different set of questions. Steve Hiller shares how firsthand reactor experience can inform the way engineers approach new nuclear technology. Eventually, it has to work as a plant. #NuclearEnergy #AdvancedNuclear #FastReactors #EAGL1

Why does EAGL-1 use lead-bismuth? Coolant choice can shape the entire reactor design. For EAGL-1, lead-bismuth offers a combination of properties suited to FANCO’s approach to advanced nuclear. Here are 3 reasons why. #nuclearenergy #advancednuclear #leadbismuth #fastreactors

55+ years in nuclear experience. Al Farabee’s career spans submarine nuclear systems, commercial power plants and firsthand experience at the Fast Flux Test Facility. Today, he brings that operational knowledge to FANCO and the development of EAGL-1. #NuclearEnergy #AdvancedNuclear #NuclearEngineering #FFTF #FANCO

What can the next generation of advanced nuclear learn from the people who have done it before? Members of FANCO’s team didn’t just study fast reactors. They helped design, authorize, build, maintain and operate them. That firsthand experience at FFTF is now being shared with a new generation of engineers developing EAGL-1. Experience carried forward. #AdvancedNuclear #NuclearEnergy #FastReactors #SMR #EAGL1
