Puzzle 825. Primes type Liouville

For sure you already know the Liouville's constant.

L=Σ10^(-n!), for n=1 to ∞ = 0.110001000000000000000001...

" Liouville's constant is a decimal fraction with a 1 in each decimal place corresponding to a factorial n!, and zeros everywhere else. " [see 1], where n!=1,2,6,24,120,720...

Based in this definition, I produce the following new definition producing a sequence of integers:

NL(n)= Σ10^(i!-1), for i=1 to n; for n=1 to ∞.

NL(1)=1
NL(2)=11
NL(3)=100011
NL(4)=100000000000000000100011
...

Q1. Find the first three prime NL numbers
Q2. Redo Q1 for R(NL). R(NL) means "the reverse of NL".

In http://www.integersequences.org/s000860.html I list the smallest factor
in the first 33 terms of the NL sequence.

Q2. The only known prime in the RNL sequence is 11.

in the first 24 terms of the RNL sequence.
