This partnership aims to cultivate future nuclear professionals and support research at the Cambridge Nuclear Energy Centre (CNEC). As a CNIC member, NANO Nuclear will offer real-world experience to Masters degree candidates and recruit top talent from Cambridge graduates.

The collaboration expands NANO Nuclear's existing relationship with CNEC, focusing on developing nuclear energy education resources. This initiative aligns with the company's efforts to offer nuclear consulting services and advance its proprietary microreactor designs, including the 'ODIN' portable low-pressure coolant reactor. The partnership aims to bridge the growing capability gap in the nuclear industry as demand for clean, safe, and consistent power rises.

NANO Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) has signed a non-binding, non-exclusive Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Blockfusion Ventures to explore advanced microreactor solutions for powering remote artificial intelligence datacenters. The 23-month collaboration will focus on:

1. Evaluating NANO Nuclear's microreactor technologies for Blockfusion's Niagara Falls datacenter
2. Assessing clean energy alternatives like wind and solar
3. Considering environmental, regulatory, and economic factors

NANO Nuclear's 'ZEUS' microreactor, designed to fit in a 45-foot container, can generate 1-2 MW of electricity without fluid coolant. This collaboration aims to address the growing energy demands of AI and data centers with sustainable solutions.

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) has announced its sponsorship of the East Tennessee Economic Council's 6th Annual Nuclear Opportunities Workshop (NOW) as a Plutonium Partner. The event, scheduled for July 30-31, 2024 in Knoxville, Tennessee, brings together nuclear industry professionals, students, and leaders to explore recent developments and opportunities in the field.

Key NANO Nuclear representatives attending include CEO James Walker, Head of Nuclear Regulatory Licensing David Tiktinsky, and Founder and Chairman Jay Yu. The company views this sponsorship as an opportunity to recognize Tennessee's support for nuclear energy and to network with industry leaders, regulatory bodies, and potential partners.

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) has filed provisional patent applications with the USPTO to secure intellectual property rights for its recently acquired Annular Linear Induction Pump (ALIP) technology. ALIP, developed by physicist Dr. Carlos O. Maidana, is a key enabling technology for NANO Nuclear's 'ODIN' microreactor and the broader advanced nuclear reactor industry.

The Department of Energy has awarded over $1.37 million in grants to support this technology. ALIP offers advantages over traditional pumps, including no moving parts, low noise, and ease of maintenance, making it suitable for liquid metal and molten salt-cooled reactors. The technology has potential applications in advanced nuclear reactors, fusion energy, space exploration, and high-temperature industrial processes.

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) has appointed David Tiktinsky as its Head of Nuclear Regulatory Licensing. Tiktinsky joins after nearly 40 years at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), bringing extensive experience in licensing and regulatory activities for nuclear fuel cycle facilities and medical isotope production. His expertise is expected to significantly assist NANO Nuclear in navigating the complex U.S. nuclear licensing process for its nuclear fuel fabrication, transportation products, and services in development.

Tiktinsky's appointment comes at a important time, as the U.S. nuclear energy sector is experiencing a renaissance with the recent enactment of the ADVANCE Act. This legislation aims to modernize the NRC's licensing and regulatory practices to support marketplace innovation. NANO Nuclear views Tiktinsky's expertise as critical in overcoming regulatory challenges and positioning the company for success in commercializing its cutting-edge nuclear technology.

NANO Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Everstar Inc. to explore the use of AI-driven solutions in modernizing the regulatory licensing process for nuclear energy projects. This collaboration aims to accelerate and enhance design and regulatory licensing processes, potentially saving significant time and resources.

The two-year non-binding MOU covers various aspects, including AI-driven documentation automation, quality assurance, compliance reporting, and supply chain management. NANO Nuclear will also evaluate employee training programs, risk mitigation strategies, and commercialization strategies using Everstar's AI capabilities.

This partnership comes in light of the recent ADVANCE Act in the U.S., supporting nuclear innovation. Both companies express optimism about the potential of AI to streamline regulatory processes and foster technological innovation in the nuclear energy industry.

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) has successfully closed its follow-on public offering, raising a total of $20.7 million in gross proceeds. This includes the full exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option, which added 135,000 shares at $20.00 per share. After deducting underwriting discounts and expenses, the net proceeds amounted to $18.582 million.

The company, which focuses on developing proprietary, portable, and clean microreactor solutions, saw strong investor interest, resulting in an oversubscribed offering. Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman, expressed gratitude for the trust placed in NANO Nuclear's vision and highlighted the company's role in the revitalization of America's nuclear energy industry.

The Benchmark Company, served as the sole book-running representative for the offering, with legal counsel provided by Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP for NANO Nuclear and Lucosky Brookman LLP for The Benchmark Company.

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) celebrates the signing of the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy (ADVANCE) Act into law on July 9, 2024. This bipartisan law, passed with overwhelming support in Congress, aims to revitalize the U.S. nuclear energy industry and boost clean energy solutions.

The ADVANCE Act includes several benefits for the nuclear microreactor segment, where NANO Nuclear operates. It mandates the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to report on licensing requirements for advanced reactors and implement specific strategies for microreactors. The Act also streamlines technology export processes and updates rules on international investment in the U.S. nuclear sector.

Additionally, the law invests in expanding domestic uranium enrichment capacity and ensuring a supply of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU). NANO Nuclear aims to develop HALEU fuel fabrication and transportation capabilities alongside its advanced nuclear microreactors.
