NANO Nuclear will be compensated for completing a feasibility study to evaluate siting many KRONOS MMR™ units to generate 1 GW of energy across BaRupOn’s Liberty American Multi-Sourced Power and Innovation Hub in development in Texas
New York, N.Y., Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) (“NANO Nuclear” or “the Company, a leading advanced nuclear micro modular reactor and technology company focused on developing clean energy solutions, today announced that it has signed a Feasibility Study Agreement with BaRupOn LLC (“BaRupOn”) to evaluate supplying many KRONOS MMR™ units to provide 1 GW of nuclear energy supporting BaRupOn 701-acre Liberty American Multi-Sourced Power (“LAMP”) and Innovation Hub being developed in Liberty, Texas, USA.
As part of the feasibility assessment, NANO Nuclear will evaluate the site’s projected power demand, reactor integration requirements, and the suitability of available land and site access for deployment of many KRONOS MMR™ units directly on the LAMP property. BaRupOn will compensate NANO Nuclear for completion of the assessment.
With rapidly increasing compute demand across the industry, BaRupOn has forecast a significant and accelerating power squeeze in Texas and across the U.S., particularly as the tech industry’s high-performance computing, and digital processing require exponentially larger electricity baseloads. Recognizing the urgency of future power constraints, and the risks they pose to long-term data center uptime, BaRupOn has expressed its willingness to co-invest directly into the construction of NANO Nuclear’s microreactors at its site following successful completion of the feasibility assessment.
“This strategic agreement marks the beginning of a broader effort to align ourselves with additional AI and data center projects and position NANO Nuclear to help address the rapidly expanding power needs emerging across the United States,” said Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman of NANO Nuclear. “Completion of this feasibility study would place NANO Nuclear in a strong position to serve the accelerating demand from high-energy-intensive sectors. We expect our collaboration with BaRupOn to help ensure that advanced reactor technologies like our KRONOS MMR™ will play an essential role in supporting the nation’s evolving energy mix.”

LAMP, an advanced 701-acre manufacturing and AI data-center being developed near Houston Texas, is being designed as a multi-domain innovation hub focused on AI computing, robotics and autonomous systems, advanced materials engineering, defense technology development, and next-generation industrial research and development. BaRupOn anticipates deploying many KRONOS MMR™ units at site as part of its turnkey infrastructure platform for domestic and global manufacturers, supporting U.S. industrial capacity and enhancing long-term energy resilience. By initiating this feasibility study, BaRupOn is acting early to secure long-term, cost-competitive, reliable baseload power for the next generation of high-density data processing. This arrangement would allow the LAMP data center campus to secure dedicated, on-site, always-on, emission-free nuclear power and significantly reduce reliance on constrained regional grids.
“AI and data center growth are outpacing grid expansion nationwide,” said Derek Matthews, Chief Strategy Officer of BaRupOn LLC. “We believe microreactors are the only realistic pathway to protecting our operational continuity while scaling to meet future demand.”
The KRONOS MMR™ is a high-temperature, gas-cooled microreactor utilizing proven materials and fuel forms, including helium coolant and TRISO particle fuel, to ensure inherent safety and long-term operational reliability. Its compact, co-locatable architecture allows for modular deployment and scalable output, from single-unit configurations to gigawatt-class multi-reactor clusters capable of powering large industrial campuses and high-density data-center operations such as LAMP.

“This collaboration represents one of the most exciting strategic opportunities in NANO Nuclear’s history and gives us a valuable opportunity to demonstrate how many KRONOS MMR™ units can integrate into large, multi-use campuses with substantial and continuous power requirements,” said James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Nuclear. “BaRupOn recognizes what many data center operators are now confronting: the grid alone cannot meet the massive, immediate, and long-term energy demands of the AI and data center era. By exploring the deployment of our microreactors, BaRupOn is positioning itself as a pioneer in next-generation digital infrastructure.”
NANO Nuclear’s work with BaRupOn strengthens NANO Nuclear’s strategic alignment with one of the fastest-growing sectors in the global energy market, as some research reports project data centers to double their electricity consumption within the decade.
NANO Nuclear is increasingly positioning itself as one of the few North American advanced reactor developers capable of serving the data-center industry, which is urgently seeking scalable energy partners due to:
• Grid congestion and long interconnection queues
• Rapid growth in GPU-based computing
• Extreme baseload requirements
• The need for carbon-free, high-availability power sources
This feasibility study marks a significant milestone in NANO Nuclear’s commercial deployment roadmap and could represent the first of many multi-reactor campus agreements across the United States.
