NANO Nuclear's KRONOS MMR(TM) Program Advances as U.S. NRC Initiates Formal Review Activities with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and NANO Nuclear EnergyJune 25, 2026 6:05 AM
NewsfileMeeting with NRC kicks off review activities and marks continued regulatory progress following acceptance of the KRONOS MMR(TM) Construction Permit Application and supports previously disclosed expectations for initial construction activities to begin in the second half of 2027New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 25, 2026) - NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) ("NANO Nuclear" or "the Company"), a leading advanced nuclear micro modular reactor and technology company focused on developing clean energy solutions, today announced continued progress in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's ("NRC") review of the Construction Permit Application ("CPA") for deployment of NANO Nuclear's KRONOS MMR™ Energy System at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ("U. of I.").On June 23, 2026, the NRC publicly announced that it had met with representatives from U. of I. and NANO Nuclear to mark the start of its review of the CPA and the planned KRONOS MMR™ research reactor project on the U. of I. campus. The meeting follows the agency's formal acceptance of the KRONOS MMR™ CPA for review on May 18, 2026. Acceptance of the CPA initiated the NRC's formal environmental, safety and technical review process for the planned deployment of the KRONOS MMR™ system at U. of I., representing a major advancement toward regulatory licensing, construction and future deployment of the reactor system.The meeting also provided additional visibility into NRC's anticipated review schedule, indicating that the environmental assessment is expected to be completed in the Spring of 2027 and the safety evaluation in early Fall of 2027. NANO Nuclear believes these projected review milestones are consistent with the Company's previously disclosed expectation, announced following NRC acceptance of the CPA, that the formal NRC review process could be completed during 2027, providing the opportunity for initial construction activities on the U. of I. campus to commence during the second half of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary project requirements.NANO Nuclear believes the commencement of formal NRC review activities further reinforces the KRONOS MMR™ system's position as the first commercially-ready microreactor developer and among a select group of advanced reactor programs progressing through the formal U.S. regulatory licensing process and highlights the Company's broader strategy of accelerating commercialization through regulatory engagement, engineering advancement and strategic partnerships.Figure 1: Representatives from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and NANO Nuclear Energy during the NRC review kickoff meeting announced on June 23, 2026.

Fusion Was Always "Twenty Years Away." One Company Is Betting the Wait Is Over -- and Taking It Public.June 17, 2026 8:56 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of General Fusion Inc.As AI and electrification send power demand soaring, the race to commercialize fusion has collided with the public markets — and the company TIME just ranked the World's Top GreenTech company is heading for the Nasdaq.NEW YORK, June 17, 2026 /CNW/ -- USA News Group News Commentary — For half a century, commercial fusion energy has carried a punchline: it is always "twenty years away." The physics is the closest thing humanity has to a perfect energy source — the reaction that powers the sun, fueled by hydrogen, producing no carbon emissions and no long-lived radioactive waste — but turning it into electricity on the grid has defeated generations of scientists and cost billions of dollars. What is changing now is not just the science. It is the timing, the money, and the markets. Electricity demand is surging, capital is flooding toward next-generation energy, and for the first time investors are being offered a way to own a fusion pure-play on a public exchange. At the center of that shift is General Fusion Inc., a Vancouver-based company that has spent more than two decades chasing practical fusion — and which, on June 9, 2026, was ranked number one on TIME's list of the World's Top GreenTech Companies of 2026. The recognition landed at a pivotal moment: General Fusion is advancing toward becoming the first publicly traded pure-play fusion company through a proposed business combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III (NASDAQ: SVAC), a transaction expected to list the combined company on the Nasdaq under the ticker "GFUZ."Key Takeaways General Fusion was ranked the world's #1 GreenTech company of 2026 by TIME (in partnership with Statista), topping a list of 250 companies with a score of 96.68 — recognition for its innovation in fusion-energy. The company is planning to go public via a proposed business combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III (NASDAQ: SVAC), with the combined company expected to trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker "GFUZ" — positioning it, by the company's account, as the first publicly traded pure-play fusion company. The deal implies an approximately US$1 billion pro-forma equity value, including a roughly US$108 million committed and oversubscribed PIPE plus up to US$230 million of SVAC trust capital (assuming no redemptions), and is targeted to close in mid-2026, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. General Fusion's Magnetized Target Fusion ("MTF") approach is designed to avoid the superconducting magnets and high-powered lasers other approaches rely on — and its world-first Lawson Machine 26 ("LM26") demonstration machine has been operating since early 2025. The move arrives as a wave of next-generation energy names — including NuScale Power, Oklo, NANO Nuclear Energy, and Centrus Energy — draw surging investor attention amid AI-driven electricity demand.Why Fusion's Moment May Finally Be ArrivingThe backdrop to all of this is a once-in-a-generation surge in electricity demand. The International Energy Agency has projected global electricity demand could grow on the order of 40% to 50% by 2035, driven by artificial-intelligence data centers, broad electrification, and industrial growth. That is not a gentle increase; it is a structural step-change that is forcing utilities, governments, and technology giants to hunt for new sources of firm, clean, baseload power — the kind that runs day and night regardless of weather.Fusion is the ultimate prize in that search. Unlike conventional nuclear fission, it does not rely on splitting heavy atoms and does not produce the same long-lived radioactive waste; unlike wind and solar, it is not intermittent. The catch has always been that achieving and sustaining the conditions for fusion — and doing it at a cost that makes economic sense — is extraordinarily hard. That difficulty is exactly why a company that can credibly claim progress, and pair it with capital, stands out. The collision of soaring demand and abundant capital has pulled next-generation energy toward the public markets and opened the door even to pre-revenue developers.What Sets General Fusion's Approach ApartMost of the fusion approaches that make headlines fall into two camps: massive tokamaks that use powerful superconducting magnets to confine superheated plasma, or laser-driven systems that implode tiny fuel pellets. Both are scientifically remarkable and both are extraordinarily expensive and complex. General Fusion is pursuing a different path called Magnetized Target Fusion, or MTF, which is designed to achieve fusion without relying on either banks of high-powered lasers or large superconducting magnets — instead using mechanical compression of magnetized plasma in a way the company argues can be built with more conventional, durable materials and at lower cost.The company's central proof point is hardware, not just theory. In early 2025, General Fusion announced that it had designed, built, and begun operating its world-first MTF demonstration machine —LM26 — in under two years. The LM26 program is intended to pursue a series of key technical milestones on the road toward demonstrating the physics required for a commercially relevant fusion system. The company describes its broader objective as commercializing fusion on a practical timeline, with commercial operations referenced in public reporting around the mid-2030s. None of that guarantees success — fusion remains one of the hardest engineering challenges in the world — but visible, operating hardware is precisely the kind of evidence that separates a credible developer from a slide deck.The Public-Markets Path: A US$1 Billion BetWhat makes this a market story and not just a science story is the deal. In January 2026, General Fusion entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III (NASDAQ: SVAC), a special-purpose acquisition company focused on power infrastructure and decarbonization. The transaction implies an approximately US$1 billion pro-forma equity value, inclusive of roughly US$108 million from a committed and oversubscribed PIPE financing and up to US$230 million of Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III's trust capital, assuming no redemptions. Spring Valley set a record date of June 12, 2026, and a meeting date of July 6, 2026, for its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. If the Spring Valley and General Fusion securityholders vote to approve the proposed business combination, the transaction is expected to close shortly thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. There is a notable pedigree on the sponsor side. The Spring Valley team has, by its own account, raised roughly US$920 million across four IPOs over five years and played roles in creating numerous publicly traded companies — and one of the Spring Valley vehicles previously completed the business combination that took small-modular-reactor developer NuScale Power Corporation public. That history places the General Fusion transaction in a recognizable clean-energy SPAC lineage. Investors should weigh that pedigree against the inherent risks of any pre-revenue, pre-commercialization business going public through a SPAC — a structure where outcomes depend on closing conditions, redemptions, financing, and a long road of technical execution still ahead.The Next-Generation Energy Names Investors Are WatchingGeneral Fusion would be a genuine rarity as a publicly traded pure-play fusion company — there are almost no direct listed comparisons, which is part of the appeal and part of the risk. In practice, the market tends to group fusion with the broader advanced-nuclear and next-generation energy trade, where a handful of public names serve as liquid proxies for investor enthusiasm. The following peer comparisons are provided for illustrative and contextual purposes only; these companies pursue different technologies, are at different stages, and several are far larger and more established than a pre-revenue fusion developer. Investors should not assume that General Fusion will achieve comparable results, valuations, or outcomes.NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) is the most directly relevant reference point — and not only because it is one of the best-known public proxies for next-generation nuclear. NuScale was itself taken public through an earlier Spring Valley business combination, the same sponsor family now behind the General Fusion transaction. As the small-modular-reactor developer with a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission-approved design, NuScale reported roughly US$1 billion in liquidity in early 2026 and continued progress on large U.S. deployment programs, illustrating both the opportunity and the patience required in advanced nuclear.Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) has become one of the most visible publicly traded advanced-nuclear names, pursuing compact fast-reactor designs and working through the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing process with ambitions to bring a commercial unit online later this decade. Backed by prominent technology investors, Oklo has been a focal point of the new-nuclear conversation and a barometer for how aggressively the market is willing to value pre-revenue energy developers with long commercialization timelines.NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) rounds out the advanced-reactor cohort as a closely watched microreactor and advanced-fission developer. As an earlier-stage, smaller-capitalization name riding the same nuclear-renaissance tailwinds, NANO Nuclear illustrates the breadth of investor appetite across the advanced-energy spectrum — from established designs down to emerging developers — and the volatility that tends to come with it.Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE: LEU) approaches the theme from the fuel-supply side, producing and seeking to expand domestic enrichment capacity — including the high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) that many advanced reactors will require. As a "picks-and-shovels" play on the nuclear build-out, Centrus underscores that the next-generation energy opportunity spans not just reactor and fusion developers but the entire supply chain feeding them. These companies are referenced to illustrate the sector and do not imply any partnership, endorsement, affiliation, or comparable financial performance.What to Watch From HereFor investors tracking the story, the near-term markers are clear. The defining events are the closing of the proposed business combination, targeted for mid-2026 and subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, the effectiveness of the registration statement, and the level of SVAC shareholder redemptions — all of which affect how much capital ultimately reaches the combined company. Beyond the deal, the technical milestones of the LM26 program are the substance behind the story; progress there is what would validate the company's claim that practical fusion is closer than the decades-old punchline suggests.It is essential to keep the risks in full view. General Fusion is a pre-revenue, pre-commercialization company pursuing one of the hardest goals in science, on a timeline that stretches years into the future. A SPAC combination carries its own set of uncertainties, from closing conditions to financing to post-listing volatility. But the convergence is undeniably striking: a company with two decades of work and operating hardware, a top global greentech ranking, a roughly US$1 billion public-markets transaction, and a wave of capital chasing the clean, firm power that an AI-hungry world increasingly demands. Whether or not fusion finally beats its thirty-year reputation, General Fusion has put itself — and soon, public investors — at the center of the attempt.SEE WHAT THE MARKET IS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE IT MOVESEagle Eye reads social, forum, and news chatter across thousands of investor conversations in real time — and surfaces the tickers the crowd is piling into, along with the sentiment and catalysts behind them.Explore Eagle Eye free (for now) at https://Eagle-Eye.devCONTACT:USA News Group

The Nuclear Company Trying to Build the Fuel-and-Reactor Stack in One ShotJune 9, 2026 8:43 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp.Equity Insider News CommentaryRENO, Nev., June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Plenty of nuclear stories ask investors to choose between the fuel side and the reactor side. Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL) is trying to make the case that the more interesting long-term play may be owning both parts of the puzzle. Its latest move adds another layer to that strategy: the company has engaged Tensor Medium Corporation to support reactor simulation and optimization work tied to Eagle's small modular reactor program.  Companies mentioned: Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL), Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO), NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR), Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE), Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE: LEU)KEY TAKEAWAYSEagle just added a technical AI layer to its SMR strategy. The company has engaged Tensor Medium to support reactor simulation and optimization work tied to its small modular reactor program, including modeling, materials optimization, quantum development, and future licensing-readiness support.This is about more than software. Management is positioning the Tensor Medium engagement as part of a broader integrated nuclear platform that combines domestic uranium resources with advanced SMR technology.Aurora remains a major part of the story. Eagle says it owns the largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposit in the United States, including 32.75 million pounds indicated and 4.98 million pounds inferred at the Aurora deposit, while continuing to target a pre-feasibility study in the second half of 2027.The broader nuclear trade is active. Public-market interest in SMRs, advanced reactors, domestic fuel supply, and uranium infrastructure has remained elevated as policy support and electricity-demand narratives continue to drive attention across the sector.Retail investors now have a clearer angle on Eagle's story. The company is not only talking about uranium in the ground; it is also trying to show how reactor development, technical partnerships, and future licensing work could fit into a larger domestic nuclear platform.For retail investors, that matters because it makes the Eagle story easier to understand. This is no longer just a uranium-resource story or just an abstract reactor-development story. Eagle is trying to build a more integrated nuclear platform that links domestic uranium resources with advanced reactor ambitions, and the Tensor Medium engagement helps show how management wants to turn that idea into something more technically grounded.Why This Update MattersUnder the new engagement, Tensor Medium will support reactor modeling and simulation efforts for Eagle's SMR program, including reactor design support, materials optimization, quantum utilization , and support for future licensing and regulatory readiness. Eagle says those workstreams fit into its broader strategy of advancing an integrated nuclear energy platform combining domestic uranium resources with advanced SMR technology.That is important because next-generation reactor stories often rise or fall on whether investors can see a path from concept to engineering reality. Bringing in a specialist partner with expertise in AI tensor-network mathematics, physics-based simulations, and high-performance computing gives Eagle a more tangible way to talk about reactor-design optimization and future development work.CEO Mark Mukhija framed the engagement as an important step in the evolution of Eagle's SMR program and the company's broader nuclear-energy platform strategy. Tensor Medium founder Dr. Boian Alexandrov said his firm's advanced simulation and optimization capabilities are well-suited to next-generation reactor-development programs such as Eagle's initiative.The Bigger Eagle ThesisWhat separates Eagle from many other nuclear stories is that it is trying to connect upstream fuel exposure with downstream reactor ambition. The company describes itself as a next-generation nuclear energy company that combines domestic uranium exploration with exclusive rights to certain small modular reactor technologies.Eagle says it owns the largest conventional, measured, and indicated uranium deposit in the United States, located in southeastern Oregon. According to the company, that includes the Aurora deposit with 32.75 million pounds indicated and 4.98 million pounds inferred of near-surface uranium resource under an S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary, along with the adjacent Cordex deposit, which it believes could expand the overall resource inventory.That gives investors two angles to watch at once. On one side, there is the resource-development path tied to uranium and a targeted pre-feasibility study in the second half of 2027. On the other side, there is the reactor-development path, where partnerships like Tensor Medium can help shape the modeling, simulation, and optimization work needed to move an SMR concept toward something more licensable and commercially relevant.More on the company's integrated strategy, uranium assets, and SMR initiative can be found on the Eagle Nuclear homepage, the company's SMR technology page, and the Aurora Uranium Project page.Why Tensor Medium FitsTensor Medium is not being presented as a general consultant. Eagle describes the company as an advanced algorithm and artificial intelligence business focused on tensor factorization methods, high-performance computing, and physics-based simulations at the exascale level.According to the press release, Tensor Medium's work has applications across nuclear engineering, materials science, defense systems, and national security, and founder Dr. Alexandrov is a former Los Alamos National Laboratory theoretical physicist. That kind of background matters in a sector where advanced modeling, materials behavior, and licensing readiness can become just as important as the reactor concept itself.Retail investors do not need to understand every technical detail of tensor networks to understand the strategic point. Eagle is trying to show that it is surrounding its SMR program with specialist capabilities that could help refine design choices and support future development milestones.The Sector TapeEagle is entering this conversation at a time when the broader nuclear trade has been drawing renewed interest from both investors and policymakers. Rising power demand, AI-driven data-center load growth, domestic fuel security, and a broader push for clean baseload generation have all helped keep advanced nuclear names in focus.Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) has been one of the most closely watched advanced-nuclear names, with investor attention recently boosted by favorable fuel-related developments and continued focus on the company's commercial deployment plans later this decade.NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) remains one of the best-known public SMR names. Recent market commentary has highlighted strong moves in the stock alongside broader enthusiasm for next-generation nuclear infrastructure and reactor deployment narratives.Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) has also remained in the public-market spotlight as investors look for smaller and more flexible advanced-reactor concepts. Recent commentary around government support for nuclear and a renewed push toward reactor deployment has helped keep the name on retail radar screens.Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE: LEU) adds the fuel-cycle angle to the comp set. The company is strategically important because it operates the only U.S.-owned, NRC-licensed facility producing HALEU in the United States, placing it near the center of the domestic fuel-supply conversation that underpins many advanced-reactor and SMR narratives.Why Retail Investors May CareThere is a simple reason Eagle's story can resonate with retail investors: it offers exposure to multiple areas of the domestic nuclear value chain. If the uranium side strengthens with domestic supply urgency, Eagle has a large in-ground resource narrative. If the SMR side gains traction, the company can point to technical partnerships and reactor-development workstreams that support a broader nuclear-platform strategy.That does not remove risk. Eagle's own cautionary language makes clear that future licensing, permitting, technical validation, capital needs, and commercialization timelines remain uncertain. But the latest Tensor Medium engagement gives the market a more concrete sign that Eagle is trying to put real engineering infrastructure around its reactor ambitions instead of leaving the story at a high level.For investors following the resurgence in domestic nuclear development, that combination of uranium exposure and SMR optionality is what makes Eagle a name worth watching.

The $1 Billion Bet to Take Fusion PublicJune 3, 2026 10:47 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of General Fusion Inc.VANCOUVER, BC, June 3, 2026 /CNW/ -- Equity-Insider.com News Commentary — Fusion has been "thirty years away" for half a century — but the calculus is changing fast. The International Energy Agency projects global electricity demand will grow roughly 40% to 50% by 2035, driven in part by artificial-intelligence data centers, electrification, and industrial growth[1]. That surge has pulled next-generation energy toward the public markets and opened the door to pre-revenue developers; General Fusion's own move is a roughly US$1 billion transaction that is expected to make it, by the company's account, the first publicly traded pure-play fusion company[2]. That collision of demand and capital is pulling General Fusion Inc., NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR), Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO), Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE: LEU), and NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) into the spotlight. The transaction terms are concrete. The business combination implies a pro-forma equity value of approximately US$1 billion, inclusive of a committed and oversubscribed private placement (PIPE) of about US$107.7 million from institutional investors and roughly US$230 million of Spring Valley's trust capital, assuming no redemptions[2]. General Fusion has raised more than US$400 million to date from institutional investors, strategics, venture-capital firms, industry partners, and government grants, and intends to use the proceeds to advance its Lawson Machine 26 (LM26) demonstration program and steps toward a first commercial plant[2].General Fusion announced on June 1, 2026 that its leadership team will participate in a series of major investor and industry conferences throughout June — a coming-out tour in advance of its anticipated listing on the Nasdaq. The Vancouver-based company, led by CEO Greg Twinney, is preparing to go public through a business combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III (NASDAQ: SVAC), a transaction targeted to close in mid-2026, after which the combined company is expected to trade under the ticker "GFUZ."Founded in 2002, General Fusion is one of the oldest privately funded fusion ventures in the world, backed by a global syndicate of energy venture-capital firms, industry leaders, and technology pioneers. Its approach, called Magnetized Target Fusion ("MTF"), mechanically compresses a magnetized plasma using a liquid-lithium liner — deliberately avoiding the enormous superconducting magnets of tokamaks and the high-powered lasers of inertial-confinement designs. The pitch is practicality: machines built from existing materials that could produce cost-effective energy, rather than experiments that never leave the national lab.The June schedule is dense. General Fusion plans to participate in Stifel's Ninth Annual Boston Cross Sector 1x1 Conference on June 2–3 in Boston; to attend the 16th Annual ROTH London Conference in London from June 16–18; and — the marquee appearance — to put Chief Strategy Officer Megan Wilson on stage at FusionX:Americas in Boston, June 9–11. Wilson is slated for a fireside chat with George Gianarikas, Managing Director at Canaccord Genuity, on June 9 at 5:00 p.m. ET, in a discussion centered on the evolving role of public markets in advancing fusion energy."Fundamentally, our plan has been underpinned by our focus on practical commercial fusion power, and our philosophy that we need to methodically buy down risk by demonstrating real results. That has not changed," Chief Strategy Officer Megan Wilson said, adding "What this transaction gives us now is that we are in growth mode." [5] The substance behind that push is General Fusion's Lawson Machine 26 (LM26), which the company announced in early 2025 as the world's first MTF demonstration machine built at a commercially relevant scale — compressing plasma with a lithium liner at 50% of commercial-scale diameter, built in under two years. LM26's milestones read like a roadmap: heat plasma to 1 keV (10 million degrees Celsius), then to 10 keV (100 million degrees Celsius), and ultimately to reach the Lawson criterion, the threshold conditions for net fusion energy in the plasma.Crucially, General Fusion's path to market runs through a SPAC sponsor with a specific track record in this lane. Spring Valley has raised roughly $920 million across four IPOs, and its earlier vehicles took NuScale Power Corporation and Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. public — the same sponsor network now backing a fusion debut and the team that brought Renewable Energy Group public at $10 and sold to Chevron for $61.50 in a ~$3 billion sale. The company has not built a commercial reactor that produces net energy, and it has publicly targeted a first-of-a-kind plant for the mid-2030s; the conference circuit marks its transition from a private research company to a public one.CONTINUED… Read this and more on General Fusion at: GeneralFusion.comOther industry developments and happenings in the market include:NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) reported first-quarter 2026 results highlighted by $1.0 billion in liquidity and continued momentum on the largest nuclear deployment program in U.S. history — up to 6 gigawatts of NuScale small modular reactor capacity being planned by its strategic partner ENTRA1 Energy with the Tennessee Valley Authority. Shareholders of Romania's Nuclearelectrica also approved advancing the next phase of the RoPower project, a six-module plant at a former coal site in Doicesti."We ended the first quarter with $1 billion in liquidity, expanded our supply chain partnership with Framatome and saw continued progress on the TVA program," said John Hopkins, President and CEO of NuScale Power. "We are building the infrastructure that this pivotal moment requires." As the only small modular reactor developer with a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission-approved design, NuScale carries a first-mover regulatory advantage — and, like General Fusion, has partnered with Spring Valley to reach the public markets.Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO), the fast-fission developer co-founded and led by Jacob DeWitte, continued de-risking its Aurora powerhouse after the NRC approved the project's Principal Design Criteria, with commercial deployment at Idaho National Laboratory targeted for late 2027. The company was also among five selected by the U.S. for advanced talks on using surplus government plutonium as reactor fuel.DeWitte described that material as a potential "bridge fuel" that could help "bring more reactors online sooner." With CEO Jacob DeWitte appointed to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Oklo has become a bellwether for how much investors will pay for a compelling pre-commercial energy story — the high-momentum end of the advanced-nuclear trade that General Fusion is now planning to enter.Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE: LEU) reported first-quarter 2026 net income of $10.0 million and raised its full-year revenue guidance, underpinned by a commercial low-enriched-uranium backlog it has pegged at roughly $2.3 billion, a federally backed $900 million high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) enrichment award, and a multi-billion-dollar enrichment-plant expansion in Piketon, Ohio."The first quarter was marked by numerous wins and great operational progress as we accelerated our drive to restore America's ability to enrich uranium at scale," said Amir Vexler, President and CEO of Centrus. Unlike the pre-revenue developers, Centrus already generates real cash flow — a reminder that parts of the nuclear-renaissance trade are further along the commercialization curve than others.NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 results alongside the formal submission of a Construction Permit Application to the U.S. NRC for its first full-scale KRONOS MMR microreactor prototype at the University of Illinois, supported by a working-capital position of roughly $566 million."The formal submission of the Construction Permit Application to the U.S. NRC for our first full-scale KRONOS MMR system prototype… marked a major milestone as the program advances from engineering into construction readiness," said James Walker, CEO of NANO Nuclear. Like General Fusion, NANO is a pre-commercial company whose value rests on technology that has yet to reach the market — the closest peer in risk profile, if not in physics.FURTHER READING: General Fusion — Investor CenterTRACK THE TREND WITH EAGLE EYE:To help investors track sentiment and market-forum activity around developing stories like this one, MIQ offers Eagle Eye, a free investor-signal tool that scans market-forum discussion for emerging trends.

Nuclear Stocks Climb After White House Unveils Space Power InitiativeApril 16, 2026 10:27 AM
IH Market News
Nuclear energy stocks moved higher on Thursday following the release of a new U.S. policy aimed at deploying nuclear reactors in space, including in Earth orbit and on the Moon.Shares of Oklo (NYSE:OKLO) and NuScale (NYSE:SMR) rose sharply in premarket trading, gaining nearly 8% and 10% respectively as of 05:38 ET. Nano Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ:NNE) also advanced 7.3%, while Cameco (NYSE:CCJ) added 1.6% and Uranium Energy (AMEX:UEC) climbed 2.1%.The gains followed a memorandum issued on April 14 by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, formally launching the National Initiative for American Space Nuclear Power. The program targets the deployment of reactors in orbit as early as 2028 and on the Moon by 2030.The directive represents the first comprehensive framework covering both civilian and military uses of nuclear technology in space, reflecting the view that existing solar and chemical propulsion systems may not meet the demands of future missions.Under the initiative, responsibilities are divided among NASA, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Energy.NASA has been tasked with developing a mid-power space reactor, including a lunar version ready for launch by 2030. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is expected to advance an orbital reactor program by 2031, with a competitive process involving at least two vendors progressing through design and testing stages.The first demonstration mission, known as SR-1 Freedom, will involve a 20-kilowatt reactor designed to support both surface power generation and propulsion for interplanetary missions.Nuclear reactors generate energy through fission, splitting atomic nuclei to release heat, and are considered critical for sustained lunar operations, where long periods of darkness make solar power unreliable.The policy follows recent comments from Jared Isaacman, head of NASA, who outlined plans to integrate nuclear power into future missions, including potential journeys to Mars.Oklo stock priceNuScale Power stock priceNANO Nuclear Energy stock priceCameco stock priceUranium Energy Corp stock price

NANO Nuclear secures DOE GAIN voucher for KRONOS reactor projectApril 9, 2026 10:45 AM
IH Market News
NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:NNE) announced it has received a Gateway for Accelerated Innovations in Nuclear (GAIN) Voucher from the U.S. Department of Energy to support development of its KRONOS MMR Energy System.The award, identified as voucher NE-26-38854, will fund a collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) aimed at creating an uncertainty quantification framework for the KRONOS reactor design. The initiative will utilize the SCALE/TSUNAMI code suite to examine nuclear data, modeling assumptions, and operating parameters that influence reactor physics metrics such as reactivity, power distribution, and temperature coefficients.“The receipt of this DOE’s GAIN Voucher Award represents another important achievement for our engineering and scientific teams,” said Alisha Kasam-Griffith, Director of Reactor Design at NANO Nuclear. She added that the collaboration will provide access to ORNL’s expertise and analytical tools recognized by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.This is the second GAIN voucher received by NANO Nuclear and the first tied specifically to its KRONOS MMR Energy System. The patented KRONOS design is a stationary high-temperature gas-cooled microreactor that is currently engaged in construction permit pre-application discussions with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.GAIN vouchers fund work performed at Department of Energy laboratories rather than providing direct payments to companies. Through the program, private developers gain access to technical expertise and research capabilities within the DOE’s national laboratory network to help address technological and commercialization challenges.The uncertainty quantification framework is intended to strengthen design validation, support regulatory engagement, and advance commercialization of the microreactor system. NANO Nuclear has already completed site characterization for the KRONOS project in partnership with the University of Illinois.The collaboration is expected to improve confidence in the reactor’s design margins and help reduce regulatory uncertainty as the project moves through development, licensing, and eventual deployment stages.NANO Nuclear Energy stock price

NANO Nuclear proposes uranium processing project in ArgentinaApril 8, 2026 6:54 AM
IH Market News
NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:NNE) said it has submitted a private proposal to Argentina’s state-owned nuclear company Dioxitek S.A. to explore the joint development of a natural uranium hexafluoride production facility.The plan would involve constructing the facility using Dioxitek’s existing infrastructure in Argentina. Dioxitek currently operates as the country’s only supplier of feedstock for nuclear fuel fabrication and manages key stages of the nuclear fuel cycle.The proposal builds on a memorandum of understanding signed between the two companies in August 2025, which set out a framework to evaluate Argentina’s capabilities for natural uranium conversion and the related industrial infrastructure required to support it.Under Argentine regulations, Dioxitek will now review the proposal. Both companies expect to continue working with relevant local stakeholders to assess the technical, financial and operational feasibility of the potential project.According to the company, the evaluation phase could eventually lead to negotiations and the signing of definitive agreements between NANO Nuclear and Dioxitek if the project moves forward.NANO Nuclear Energy stock price

US need to move fast with this technogy, otherwise chineese will be all over US.

if this company is genuine, rich in definitive technology and fast moving to target, so would be its acceptance to investors and common shareholders and most importantly to the top quantum, AI and AI supporting companies. There is no otherway to fill the energy gap. too many fake company eating away the resources.

Who will acquire this, when the price continues to drop?

Files 6 patients and still down $1!!! In other circles, this would've been a good thing.

This is what happens when the music stops and you have no revenue to fall back on.

A lot of boiler plate language in their PR's giving them outs in case nothing ever pans out like they want to believe.

Nano Nuclear Energy is turning nuclear energy into something like a battery.

You plug it in where needed and it lasts for up to eight years without refueling. When it is depleted you unplug it and haul it away, and plug in a new one.

Compare that to how it has been done up to now. You spend from $50 to $100 Billion on a gigantic concrete building, with a thousand miles of piping. Then wait 10 years for the build to be completed. It is refueled about every 2 years and it produces power for a total of 20 years before it has to be decommissioned. And it never produces power ever again. And finally, it costs about $100 Million to demolish the facility.

I don't own the NNE stock but I do own a big pile of Call Options out to more than a year. I am up over 800% since last August. And I am thinking there might be another 5,000% profit in this if I hold onto the options until late this year.

Good Luck to All Longs.

Company continues to acquire patent portfolio's.  Saw this many years ago in the telecommunications space and public company ended up being sold for pennies on the dollar because patents ended up being outdated and technology had advanced. Does the same thing eventually happen here? Don't know but not stepping in front of a speeding train.

It seems the DeepSeek news is affecting the data centers the most and in turn are casting doubt on the amount of new power that needs to come on line to support those centers.  NNE could be a big loser here especially with no revenue.

No chance this company generates any revenue in 2025, right?

Will be interesting to see what their  cash burn rate is per quarter in 2025.

Will management's past reputation eventually catch up with the company or can they shake the stench off?

It will take more than one patent to keep NNE so high.
Sales will ultimately send this over $100, but when?

Covered at 43..... probably a better short when the excitement dies down. 

Short at 44.20 this morning.

Sold half 43.20

Looking for a short entry point amid this enthusiasm for the company.   Something doesn't seem right with the management team and only a couple full time employees?

$27.29'+ 10% nuclear been activated some more

Back to $30 zone play lots of patents and potential for data centers
