• Commercial opportunities are expanding: NANO completed a feasibility study with BaRupOn for up to 1 gigawatt of Kronos capacity and is advancing a potential framework with a global infrastructure partner that could make NANO the preferred nuclear provider for a multi-gigawatt AI data-center pipeline. The company also signed an MOU with Supermicro and received a new U.S. Air Force SBIR Phase I award.
• The completed acquisition of profitable nuclear logistics company STS adds fuel and spent-fuel transportation capabilities, government relationships, and industry expertise.
