New York, N.Y., Oct. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:NNE) ("NANO Nuclear" or "the Company"), a leading advanced nuclear energy and technology company focused on developing portable, clean energy solutions, today announced that its Chief Executive Officer and Head of Reactor Development, James Walker, will lead a virtual presentation alongside Founder and Chairman, Jay Yu, at the upcoming Mississippi Public Service Commission Nuclear Summit.

"A key aspect of the NANO Nuclear story is our participation in the emerging nuclear energy renaissance in the U.S. It is inspiring to see states like Mississippi, in addition to the growing support within the federal government, take the initiative to adopt nuclear-based solutions for their expanding energy needs," said Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman of NANO Nuclear Energy. "Advanced reactors, such as NANO Nuclear's ‘ODIN' and 'ZEUS' microreactors in development, can play a pivotal role in this transition, allowing states to deploy portable, safe nuclear energy solutions where they are most needed. We look forward to engaging with fellow attendees and presenters at the Nuclear Summit to discuss the future of Mississippi's energy landscape."

Featuring prominent speakers such as Jeff Merrifield, Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Industry Council and former NRC Commissioner, and Mike King, Special Assistant for ADVANCE ACT Implementation at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Summit will provide a platform to explore safe, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions that benefit Mississippi's communities and economy.

The Summit is scheduled for October 22, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Jackson, MS. All interested parties are welcome and encouraged to register at ww.psc.ms.gov. "Mississippi has the potential to be a leader in nuclear energy, and this summit will serve as a proactive platform for meaningful dialogue. The Mississippi Public Service Commission is grateful to have an industry leader such as NANO Nuclear Energy take part in the summit." stated the Commissioners.

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 four business lines: (i) cutting edge portable microreactor technology, (ii) nuclear fuel fabrication, (iii) nuclear fuel transportation and (iv) 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 products in technical development are "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.

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 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.
