Our Mission
Current report
We continue to benefit from a global nuclear energy renaissance driven by several long term, sustainable growth trends and significant regulatory tailwinds. These include growth in AI data centers, industrial reshoring, and broader electrification, all driving a significant need for clean and reliable power, energy sustainability and independence, and climate mandates requiring reliable zero-emissions energy. All of this comes in an era of unprecedented bipartisan legislative and policy support in the U.S. for nuclear energy. Equally important, there is broad recognition that advanced reactors like the ones we are developing will be critical to future clean energy infrastructure.
Current report
In early April 2025, we signed a strategic collaboration with UIUC to construct the first KRONOS MMR™ research reactor on the university’s campus. In mid-April 2025, we launched a recruitment initiative focused on the Midwest region to support our ambitious plans to construct, demonstrate and gain regulatory approval for full-scale KRONOS MMR™ in both the United States and Canada. In late April 2025, the NRC issued its final Safety Evaluation (SE) approving the Fuel Qualification Methodology Topical Report (FQM TR) for the advanced fuel design to be used in our KRONOS MMR™. In July 2025, we announced that we will provide critical engineering and environmental services for our planned construction and deployment activities at UIUC for the KRONOS MMR™. We anticipate submitting our construction permit application to the NRC towards the end of 2025 or early 2026, and receiving the construction permit later in 2026. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to meet this anticipated timeline, as the submission is subject to the completion of ongoing technical, regulatory, and operational preparations, which may be affected by factors beyond our control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this is expected to be the first construction permit for a microreactor issued in the United States. The permit application will not incur any government fees, as the KRONOS MMR™ reactor, due to its location at UIUC, qualifies for a fee exemption under applicable regulations due to its use for research purposes.
Current report
Given our corporate emphasis on the KRONOS MMR™ reactor and the fact that all of our reactor designs, except for ODIN, are high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, we are considering strategic alternatives for ODIN. These alternatives are intended to monetize our investment in the project to date and enable us to allocate more time and resources to the KRONOS MMR™ reactor and our other designs and technologies.

Micro Nuclear Reactor Business. We are developing the next generation of advanced nuclear microreactors, in particular (i) the fixed installation KRONOS MMR™ Energy System, (ii) ZEUS, a portable modular solid core battery reactor, (iii) ODIN, a portable modular low-pressure coolant reactor, (iv) the space focused, portable LOKI MMR™ . Through the collaboration of our world-renowned nuclear scientists and engineers, the U.S. national nuclear laboratories, and government support, we believe our reactors will have the potential to impact the global energy landscape. Our goal is to commercially launch one of these products in the early 2030s.
Previous report
Furthermore, in December 2024, we announced our execution of a memorandum of understanding with the Idaho Operations Office of the DOE setting forth a framework for the potential collaboration between our company and the DOE to evaluate constructing a demonstration reactor on a land package near INL. Through this memorandum, we will work with the DOE and Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC, the current operator of INL (“BEA”), to progress the development, siting, and eventual testing of our innovative microreactor designs. We will continue to weigh the DOE site against all potential siting options to ensure the most appropriate reactor site is located for our prototype. In January 2025, we entered into a lease for a facility in Westchester County, New York where we have established a purpose-built demonstration facility to be used to demonstrate the operation and viability of several non-nuclear parts and components of our nuclear microreactors in development. We committed approximately $3 million dollars to retrofit this facility, in May 2025 we announced that the retrofit was completed and the facility would soon be operational. The facility will also support ongoing work on our SBIR Phase III project for its Annular Linear Induction Pump (ALIP) technology.
Previous report
We intend to progress our KRONOS MMR development work at UIUC, aiming to complete drilling work on the identified site for our prototype construction, as part of the geological characterization work necessary to apply to the NRC for a permit to construct. We plan to apply for the construction permit in late 2025 or early 2026. Concurrently, we anticipate proceeding with the licensing process for the KRONOS MMR in Canada through the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), as well as proceeding with the development of the KRONOS MMR reactor at Chalk River in collaboration with the Canadian Nuclear Laboratory (CNL).

On January 10, 2025, we closed the asset acquisition of the KRONOS MMR™ Energy System and the LOKI MMR™ from Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (“USNC”). These assets include certain contracts, intellectual property rights, prior demonstration projects, and pursuant to an arrangement with an affiliated entity described below, the equity interests of a Canadian entity, free and clear of any liens other than certain specified liabilities of USNC that were assumed, for a total purchase price of $8.5 million in cash through an auction conducted pursuant to Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in connection with USNC’s pending Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. On December 18, 2024, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, the Bankruptcy Court overseeing USNC’s bankruptcy held a hearing where it approved the sale of the USNC Assets to us. The acquired assets purchased from USNC specifically included five contracts with third-party collaborators, 38 issued, pending or published patents, including six issued and four pending or published U.S. utility patents and three issued and four pending Canadian utility patents, 16 registered, pending or published trademarks, and any other technology and intellectual property related to the acquired businesses, rights related to a demonstration project related to the KRONOS MMR™ Energy System in the United States and the business records of the acquired businesses and related confidentiality rights. We acquired these assets through two new wholly owned subsidiaries incorporated in Nevada. The acquired assets also included certain Canadian assets (the “Canadian Assets”), including three contracts with Canadian authorities, the equity interests of a Canadian partnership and rights related to a demonstration project related to the KRONOS MMR™ Energy System in Canada, the transfer of which need the consent of certain Canadian governmental entities (the “Canadian Consents”), with an escrow of $250,000 deposited at the closing securing the Canadian Consents. If the Canadian Consents are not received within 90 days after the closing, we shall have the right to terminate the acquisition of the Canadian Assets and receive the return of $250,000 held in escrow. To better facilitate the Canadian Consents and to continue diligence of the Canadian partnership and other Canadian Assets, our disinterested directors unanimously approved the assignment of our rights to the Canadian Assets to Jay Jiang Yu, our founder, President, Secretary and Treasurer, and Chairman of the Board, and certain Canadian entities owned or controlled by Mr. Yu (the “Yu Entities”). In exchange, on January 10, 2025, the Company entered into an option agreement (“Yu Option Agreement”) with Mr. Yu and Yu Entities, pursuant to which the Company received an option back from Mr. Yu and Yu Entities to acquire for nominal consideration, for a period of five years beginning once the receipt by the Yu Entities of the Canadian Assets upon rec…

The KRONOS MMR™ reactor targets new markets beyond those targeted by our smaller microreactors, which are designed for more remote locations, such as island and remote communities, remote industry such as mining projects or oil and gas. The KRONOS MMR™ reactor will target larger population centers, industrial heat for larger industries, data and artificial intelligence centers for the tech industry, and LOKI MMR™ will target extra-terrestrial applications. In early April 2025, we signed a strategic collaboration with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (“UIUC”) to construct the first KRONOS MMR™ Microreactor Energy System research reactor on the university’s campus. In mid-April 2025, we launched a recruitment initiative focused on the Midwest region to support our ambitious plans to construct, demonstrate and gain regulatory approval for full-scale KRONOS MMR™ in both the United States and Canada. In late April 2025, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) issued its final Safety Evaluation (SE) approving the Fuel Qualification Methodology Topical Report (FQM TR) for the advanced fuel design to be used in our stationary KRONOS MMR™. The diversity of products positions us to capitalize on growing financial investment and societal momentum driving advanced nuclear energy technologies on a global scale across multiple different areas. We will leverage our world-class technical team to analyze and optimize these technologies, key components, and intellectual property, before integrating them into our operational frameworks and ongoing innovative efforts. We also intend to build upon and strengthen the extensive industry relationships that USNC established during its operations, including those with UIUC and the Canadian Government to build prototype reactors. Once operational in the future, our plan is to be able to sell a majority of the energy produced at the UIUC KRONOS MMR™ reactor, with UIUC retaining a portion for its own use.

Our ZEUS and ODIN microreactors have moved from the design stages to physical test work stages, with materials testing, irradiation testing, and initial rig construction currently underway, to ensure the accuracy of our modelled reactors and to optimize the dimensions and composition of the systems. We have conducted and completed external design audits on both the ZEUS and ODIN reactor designs to provide external validation and assistance to our designs. The design audits for the reactors were conducted and completed by the Idaho National Laboratory (“INL”). We are currently identifying sites for our prototype reactor for the purpose of conducting physical test work using nuclear material for both microreactors. We have communicated with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) and Department of Energy (“DOE”), informing them of the status of our microreactor designs and the estimated internal timelines for our microreactor developments, with an understanding that definite timelines will be provided once available, to allow the NRC to arrange the necessary personnel to oversee the microreactor licensing process. We increased the size of the technical teams during 2024 and 2025 to expedite the development of the reactor systems, as well as recruiting former NRC personnel to oversee our regulatory licensing processes, and to engage directly with the NRC to facilitate the commercialization planning.

In January 2025, we announced that we had contracted with Thermal Engineering International (TEi), a Babcock Power Inc.® company, to advance the design and fabrication of several heat exchangers for use in our ODIN microreactor in development. In March 2025, six additional professionals, including Radwan Nassim Kheroua, Dr. Andrew Steer, James Leybourn, Simon Boddington, Luke Godfrey, and Jake Miles joined our U.K.-based nuclear science and engineering partner Cambridge AtomWorks, led by Professors Ian Farnan and Eugene Shwageraus. Cambridge AtomWorks personnel are leading the development of our ODIN microreactor. In March 2025, we announced that we had assembled the first reactor core hardware of our ZEUS microreactor for initial non-nuclear testing. Given our corporate emphasis on the KRONOS MMR™ reactor and the fact that all of our reactor designs, except for ODIN, are high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, we are considering strategic alternatives for ODIN.

We estimate that our microreactor demonstration work for ODIN and ZEUS will be conducted between 2025 and 2027, our microreactor licensing application will be processed between 2026 and 2029, and our microreactors will be launched between 2030 and 2031. We have already made material progress with the KRONOS MMR, including affirming the collaboration for this project with UIUC; however, we have not yet determined a definitive timeline for demonstration, licensing and commercial launch of this reactor. With respect to the LOKI MMR system, we are still in the process of assessing and developing demonstration, licensing and commercial launch timelines for this reactor. We also plan on providing nuclear service support and consultation services for the expanding and resurgent nuclear energy industry in 2025, both domestically and internationally. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is no assurance that we can meet successfully the above-mentioned timelines. We are examining strategic acquisitions to expand our business and consultancy services. We have commenced several material discussions with potential targets for such acquisitions, but as of the date of this Report, we have not entered into any definitive agreements for such acquisitions.

We believe, based on our market research, that no small modular reactor (“SMR”) and microreactor company is currently developing a full fuel supply chain to produce fuel for their reactors. Our strategy to create the fuel for our own reactors and also to position our company to supply fuel to the wider nuclear industry and other reactor manufacturers, addressing anticipated significant shortfalls in fuel supply. Through our investment and collaboration with LIS Technologies, which we believe is the only U.S.-origin and patented laser uranium enrichment company, our goal is to progress towards being what we believe will be the only vertically integrated microreactor business in the country. This would give our business an enormous competitive advantage for both our own reactor development and establishing multiple sources of future revenue to de-risk our company. Currently, we believe, based on our market research, that no SMR or microreactor has any sales revenue, inhibiting the ability for any reactor company to progress, we are building a different and more robust business model.

We have identified an opportunity for more immediate revenue for our company by acquiring more expertise to advance our businesses and deploying those personnel as part of a consulting and services business. We have already identified several nuclear services and consultancy providers, which have been assessed as potentially suitable for acquisition by our company. We have concentrated on identifying small teams with expert personnel, with good portfolios of work and existing contracts, and good expansion potential, which would provide us with immediate revenue post-acquisition. We believe we are in a competitively advantageous position to expand these acquired businesses with the highly qualified teams it has built over the previous years. This expansion potential can be further complemented by the education programs we are assembling with the Cambridge Nuclear Energy Centre, part of the University of Cambridge, which will involve the sponsorship of MSc and PhD Nuclear programs to produce the next generation of qualified nuclear energy personnel. Part of our education sponsorship programs will involve providing work to the qualifying individuals after they have completed their programs, allowing for further expansion of the nuclear services we are able to offer clients. In furtherance of this effort, in early August 2024 we announced that we have joined the University of Cambridge Nuclear Industry Club to further our collaboration with Cambridge and our efforts to foster and recruit the next generation of nuclear researchers and engineers. With an expanded team we plan to retain with a portion of the proceeds from our 2024 public offerings, we will market our expertise and deploy consultants to both government and private industry nuclear projects. Consultants will be hired out for either hourly rates, or for contractual periods and weekly or monthly rates depending on the project type and scope. The acquisitions and their subsequent expansions will also provide in-house expertise, at greatly reduced costs, which we can utilize for our own research and development, streamlining our company while expanding our technical and human capital capacity.

The regulatory licensing process for our microreactor prototypes is expected to be completed in the early 2030s, with manufacturing facilities being constructed during the licensing phase so we are ready to deploy microreactors across the country upon licensing approval. Initial NRC contact will involve early communication from us of the estimated company timelines, so that the regulator can secure the required number of personnel to successfully examine the microreactors. Our ability to successfully license and certify our microreactors will subsequently be dependent on working through the licensing process with the NRC and satisfying their examinations that the reactor is safe to deploy to customers, provided the agreed protocols are adhered to. Our ability to successfully design and construct our own commercial nuclear fuel facilities will be dependent on obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals from the NRC to permit the commercial deployment of microreactors. The U.S. NRC inspects the site construction at new fuel cycle facilities and only approves the facility’s capability to possess nuclear material after ensuring that the facility’s safety controls are robust and able to safely handle these materials. Fuel cycle facilities must comply with the regulatory requirements established by the NRC. The facility will need to acquire an NRC license containing site-specific requirements that the facility is required to comply with. Each license is unique and is specific to the nuclear material and hazards present at the fuel cycle facility. To obtain a license will involve a lot of communication between the NRC and our company. NRC safety oversight includes three important components: NRC inspection, the routine assessment of each licensee’s performance, and enforcement in the case that the regulatory requirements are not met. Our company has identified the potential sites and will work with the NRC through the process established under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1970, which will begin when a federal agency develops a proposal to take a major federal action. We have begun scoping studies and cost estimation work for our fuel supply chain manufacturing, with site identification and design team building beginning in 2024, coinciding with engaging experienced licensing and regulatory experts to plan the licensing strategy for developing the facilities.

The regulatory licensing process for our microreactor prototypes is expected to be completed in the early 2030s, with manufacturing facilities being constructed during the licensing phase so we are ready to deploy microreactors (most notably our KRONOS MMR™) across the country upon licensing approval. Our KRONOS MMR™ reactor system has already undergone important pre-licensing activities, including the submission of a Regulatory Engagement Plan, several White Papers and Topical Reports, and NRC approval for Fuel Qualification Methodology for the advanced fuel design to be used in our KRONOS micro modular reactor energy system. Our ability to successfully license and certify our microreactors will subsequently be dependent on working through the licensing process with the NRC (and, as applicable, Canadian and other regulators) and satisfying their examinations that the reactor is safe to deploy to customers, provided the agreed protocols are adhered to. Our ability to successfully design and construct our own commercial nuclear fuel facilities will be dependent on obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals from the NRC and other applicable authorities to permit the commercial deployment of microreactors.

We believe that our existing cash will fund our current operating and research and development plans through at least the next twelve months from the date of this Report.

In addition, we received approximately $14.4 million from exercises of warrants, $1.6 million from exercises of stock options, and net proceeds of approximately $92.3 million from our registered follow-on offering in October 2024, and our November 2024 private placement offering. We also expect to file a “universal shelf” registration statement to provide us with more ready access to financing from the capital markets.

Although we have negative operating cash outflows of $14,713,509 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, and $5,953,795 for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, we had approximately $210 million in cash as of June 30, 2025 (compared to approximately $28.5 million as of September 30, 2024) and working capital of approximately $209 million as of June 30, 2025 (compared to approximately $27.5 million as of September 30, 2024).

While we have more than sufficient capital to fund our planned operations for the next twelve months and beyond that, in order to achieve our long-term plans, we expect to raise substantial additional capital or secure other sources of financing to support our operations and growth in future.
Previous wording
However, the future development of our business towards ultimate commercialization of our products will require significant amounts of cash resources. Since we do not anticipate generating meaningful revenues for several years, we intend to finance our future cash requirements for capital expenditures, research and development and business development activities and general working capital through public or private equity or debt financings, third-party (including government) funding, or any combination of these approaches. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or equity-linked instruments, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution. Moreover, no assurances can be given that we will be able to raise required funding on favorable terms, if at all, and our inability to raise additional funding when needed could have a material adverse effect on our company and results of operations and could cause our business to fail.
Current wording
The future development of our business towards ultimate commercialization of our products will require significant amounts of cash resources, in the hundreds of millions of dollars at least. Since we do not anticipate generating meaningful revenues for several years, we intend to finance our future cash requirements for capital expenditures, research and development and business development activities and general working capital through public or private equity or debt financings, third-party (including government) funding, or any combination of these approaches. Towards that end, in July 2025 we filed a universal shelf registration statement which, if and when declared effective by the SEC, will allow us to raise up to $620 million in funding. Included in such registration is a $400 million “at the market” offering program. As we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or equity-linked instruments, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution. Moreover, no assurances can be given that we will be able to raise required funding on favorable terms, if at all, and our inability to raise additional funding when needed could have a material adverse effect on our company and results of operations and could cause our business to fail.

As part of issuing our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we evaluated whether there were any conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern over the twelve months after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses, and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $41.9 million and negative operating cash flow during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Management expects that operating losses and negative cash flows may increase from the fiscal 2025 levels because of additional costs and expenses related to our research and development activities. Our continued solvency is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional working capital to complete the design, construction, demonstration, regulatory licensing and ultimately commercialization of our reactors in development and other technologies and contemplated services.
