Expert Statements

Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman of NANO Nuclear Energy

“IMPSA has developed sophisticated nuclear engineering and manufacturing capabilities over many decades, and we see an opportunity to connect that expertise with the next generation of advanced nuclear projects.”

Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman of NANO Nuclear Energy

“Our objective is to build NANO Nuclear with the capabilities needed to commercialize nuclear technology: reactor engineering, manufacturing, fuel, transportation and project execution.”

Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman of NANO Nuclear Energy

“Our relationship with IMPSA can strengthen several of those areas at the same time while establishing an important industrial relationship between the United States and Argentina.”

James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Energy

“Advanced reactors have to move from drawings and calculations to modular components that can be manufactured repeatedly, inspected, qualified and assembled.”

James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Energy

“IMPSA brings more than four decades of nuclear engineering and manufacturing experience and particularly valuable expertise in nuclear pressure vessels and ASME Section III fabrication.”

James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Energy

“Having that manufacturing knowledge applied to KRONOS at this stage is expected to identify constraints earlier, strengthen the design-for-manufacture process and build a much more direct pathway toward future component production.”

Jorge Salcedo Hernández, President of IMPSA

“This alliance represents a strategic opportunity for IMPSA and for the Argentine nuclear industry.”

Jorge Salcedo Hernández, President of IMPSA

“With decades of experience manufacturing pressure vessels under ASME N-Stamp certification, IMPSA has established itself as one of the few suppliers capable of assessing the manufacturability of nuclear components at an early stage.”

Jorge Salcedo Hernández, President of IMPSA

“Our goal is to enable NANO Nuclear to accelerate the KRONOS MMR™ manufacturing process, advancing toward safer and more efficient nuclear systems.”

Initial engineering program is leveraging IMPSA's decades of nuclear experience to advance engineering and manufacturability of the KRONOS MMR design

New York, New York and Mendoza, Argentina--(Newsfile Corp. - October 21, 2026) - NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) ("NANO" or "the Company"), a leading advanced nuclear micro modular reactor and technology company developing microreactors, nuclear fuel cycle capabilities and nuclear transportation solutions, today announced that it has entered into a Engineering Services Master Agreement (ESMA) with the U.S. subsidiary of IMPSA, one of Argentina's leading engineering and heavy-manufacturing companies, to support the engineering, design-for-manufacture and potential future fabrication of critical components for NANO Nuclear's KRONOS MMR™ Energy System.
