Press Release

Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Canada Summit 2025 will be held in Strathcona County, Alberta on March 4-5, 2025

New York, N.Y., Feb. 20, 2025 — NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) (“NANO Nuclear” or “the Company”), a leading advanced nuclear energy and technology company focused on developing clean energy solutions, today announced that it is the Diamond Sponsor of the upcoming SMR Canada Summit 2025, to be held in Strathcona County, Alberta on March 4-5, 2025. Chief Executive Officer and Head of Reactor Development James Walker will lead a keynote presentation titled “Finding Opportunities in the Resurgent Nuclear Energy Industry” on Tuesday, March 4th, at 9:30am.

SMR Canada Summit serves as a vital platform for educating and informing local entrepreneurs, government officials, and the broader community about the potential of Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia as pioneering sites for nuclear development in Western Canada. The Summit features in-depth discussions on a variety of critical topics, including site development, safety protocols, transportation logistics, cutting-edge technology, community engagement strategies, economic impacts, and workforce development, bringing together all the relevant stakeholders including technology suppliers, EPC’s, governments, regulators, utilities, First Nations, NGO’s and end users.

By bringing together diverse stakeholders from across Canada, the event not only provides valuable insights but also fosters a well-informed and engaged community prepared to participate in and support the responsible growth of nuclear energy in the region.

“The Canadian government has shown considerable support for advanced nuclear technologies as the country strives to achieve 100% net-zero carbon electricity by 2050,” said Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman of NANO Nuclear Energy. “This summit reflects the nation’s commitment to fostering innovation and the eventual deployment of small modular and micro reactor energy systems. We’re pleased to play a role in driving these efforts forward with our high technology readiness level KRONOS MMR™ reactor energy system and the continuation of proactive discussions with the Canadian National Laboratory and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.”

The recently acquired KRONOS MMR™ energy system was the first small modular reactor to enter the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission’s (CNSC) formal licensing review. Following the close of this acquisition, NANO Nuclear has focused on reestablishing and advancing discussions with the CNSC to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations and to move the energy system into the next phase of review.

“This summit will play a pivotal role in fostering a robust nuclear energy industry nationwide and I’m thrilled to engage with Canada’s leading professionals,” said James Walker, Chief Executive Officer and Head of Reactor Development of NANO Nuclear Energy. “NANO Nuclear aims to establish itself as the premiere small modular and micro reactor innovator in Canada. Our acquisition of KRONOS MMR™ energy system positions us to take an active role in the country’s expanding energy sector, paving the way for high-level discussions with Canadian regulators and laboratories integral to meeting Canada’s ambitious clean-energy goals. I look forward to delivering a keynote address to some of the most knowledgeable and dedicated experts in Canada’s nuclear sector and collaborating with them to establish the nation as a leader in advanced energy technologies.”

About NANO Nuclear Energy, Inc.

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) is an advanced technology-driven nuclear energy company seeking to become a commercially focused, diversified, and vertically integrated company across five business lines: (i) cutting edge portable and other microreactor technologies, (ii) nuclear fuel fabrication, (iii) nuclear fuel transportation, (iv) nuclear applications for space and (v) nuclear industry consulting services. NANO Nuclear believes it is the first portable nuclear microreactor company to be listed publicly in the U.S.

Led by a world-class nuclear engineering team, NANO Nuclear’s reactor products in development include “ZEUS”, a solid core battery reactor, and “ODIN”, a low-pressure coolant reactor, each representing advanced developments in clean energy solutions that are portable, on-demand capable, advanced nuclear microreactors. NANO Nuclear is also developing patented stationary KRONOS MMR™ Energy System and space focused, portable LOKI MMR™.

Advanced Fuel Transportation Inc. (AFT), a NANO Nuclear subsidiary, is led by former executives from the largest transportation company in the world aiming to build a North American transportation company that will provide commercial quantities of HALEU fuel to small modular reactors, microreactor companies, national laboratories, military, and DOE programs. Through NANO Nuclear, AFT is the exclusive licensee of a patented high-capacity HALEU fuel transportation basket developed by three major U.S. national nuclear laboratories and funded by the Department of Energy. Assuming development and commercialization, AFT is expected to form part of the only vertically integrated nuclear fuel business of its kind in North America.

HALEU Energy Fuel Inc. (HEF), a NANO Nuclear subsidiary, is focusing on the future development of a domestic source for a High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) fuel fabrication pipeline for NANO Nuclear’s own microreactors as well as the broader advanced nuclear reactor industry.

NANO Nuclear Space Inc. (NNS), a NANO Nuclear subsidiary, is exploring the potential commercial applications of NANO Nuclear’s developing micronuclear reactor technology in space. NNS is focusing on applications such as the LOKI MMR™ system and other power systems for extraterrestrial projects and human sustaining environments, and potentially propulsion technology for long haul space missions. NNS’ initial focus will be on cis-lunar applications, referring to uses in the space region extending from Earth to the area surrounding the Moon’s surface.
