(\"Antares\"), a nuclear fission energy company developing microreactors\nfor defense and space applications.\n\nAs part of the FSA, Standard Nuclear will deliver a minimum of one MTU, up to\neight MTUs of TRISO fuel to Antares through 2035. Antares will use Standard\nNuclear's TRISO fuel to power its microreactors, which are designed to enable\ncritical mission capabilities for both the Department of War and commercial\ncustomers.\n\n“Antares is building reactors for some of the most demanding environments on\nearth and in space, and Standard Nuclear is proud to support Antares for their\nstrategic energy applications,” said Kurt Terrani, President and Chief\nExecutive Officer of Standard Nuclear. “We are working to scale our TRISO\nproduction capacity across identical facilities and continue to adhere to our\ncustomers’ needs. Now, as our customers move from demonstration toward\ncommercial deployment, we are building the supply chain that advanced reactors\nneed to meet their commercial needs and our nation’s energy and national\nsecurity.”\n\nThe FSA fortifies the parties’ growing partnership and secures the domestic\nsupply of TRISO fuel for years to come, which also advances the domestic\nsupply chain for advanced nuclear reactors. As the only U.S. company with\nindustrial-scale TRISO fuel fabrication facilities, Standard Nuclear is\nscaling production across multiple, licensed facilities, a replicable\nmanufacturing model built to scale with customer demand.\n\n\"We are focused on delivering dependable, high-performance power to meet our\ncustomers' most demanding energy needs,” said Jordan Bramble, CEO and\nCo-founder of Antares. “Standard Nuclear is an ideal partner, bringing the\nindustrial scale and critical fuel supply security necessary to support our\nlong-term growth.”\n\nAbout Standard Nuclear\n\nStandard Nuclear’s mission is to reliably deliver the essential building\nblocks of nuclear power at scale, enabling cost-effective, safe, and secure\nenergy. Headquartered in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the company is focused on the\nlarge-scale production of advanced nuclear fuel and power systems. As the only\nU.S. company with industrial-scale TRISO fuel fabrication facilities today,\nStandard Nuclear produces a robust, high-performance fuel essential to\nadvanced nuclear reactors for terrestrial, national security, and space\napplications. The Company’s internationally recognized technical team,\ntogether with its operation and ownership of facilities licensed for\nlarge-scale TRISO fuel manufacturing, positions Standard Nuclear to deliver\nadvanced nuclear fuel to a rapidly growing industry and to strengthen the\ndomestic supply chain underpinning U.S. national security.
