[{"type":"text","content":"LIS Technologies is cleared to proceed with procurement of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) feedstock and to advance research, development, and optimization activities on its U.S. origin and patented laser uranium enrichment technology\nNew York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 23, 2025) - 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, congratulates its commercial partner LIS Technologies Inc. (\"LIST\") on LIST's receipt of a key Radioactive Material License from the State of Tennessee for its state-of-the-art Demo Test Loop Facility being developed on the historic K-25 site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.\nThe receipt of the license enables LIST to proceed with procurement of uranium hexafluoride (UF₆) feedstock, to handle various forms of uranium, and to advance research, development, and optimization activities in support of its technology development and ultimate deployment of a commercial uranium laser enrichment facility in the United States.\nPrivately held LIST is believed to be the only U.S.-origin based developer of a patented advanced laser technology to enrich uranium. NANO Nuclear and LIST are parties to a collaboration agreement under which NANO Nuclear will develop supportive fuel cycle capabilities that will enable LIST's enriched UF6 to become part of an integrated fuel manufacturing process. This collaboration is a critical piece in NANO Nuclear's vertically integrated fuel pipeline strategy to produce Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) and High-Assay Low Enriched Uranium (HALEU), ensuring a seamless supply that delivers fuel to both NANO Nuclear's micro modular reactor energy systems in development and the wider nuclear energy industry customers.\n\nFigure 1 - NANO Nuclear Energy Celebrates LIS Technologies' Receipt of a Radioactive Material License from the State of Tennessee for its state-of-the-art Demo Test Loop Facility Being Developed on the Historic K-25 site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.\nTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:\nhttps://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/11703/278918_2e4dcf420485ea77_002full.jpg\n\"This is a major milestone not only for LIS Technologies, but for the future of the U.S. nuclear fuel supply chain,\" said James Walker, Chief Executi...
