What Happened
On April 9, 2026, Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. (NNE) announced via Form 8-K (Item 8.01) that it was awarded a Gateway for Accelerated Innovations in Nuclear (GAIN) Voucher by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The voucher, NE-26-38854, supports work on NNE’s KRONOS MMR™ Energy System under the project titled “Uncertainty Quantification and Sensitivity Analysis Support for NANO Nuclear Reactor Design Using ORNL’s Tools – SCALE/TSUNAMI.” The company filed a press release about the award as Exhibit 99.1 to the 8-K.

Key Details

• Awarding body: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) — GAIN program.
• Voucher ID: NE-26-38854.
• Project title: “Uncertainty Quantification and Sensitivity Analysis Support for NANO Nuclear Reactor Design Using ORNL’s Tools – SCALE/TSUNAMI.”
• Announcement date / filing: April 9, 2026; press release filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K.

Why It Matters
This award gives NNE access to DOE/Gain-supported technical resources—specifically Oak Ridge National Laboratory tools (SCALE/TSUNAMI)—for uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis, activities that directly support reactor design validation and technical readiness. The filing does not disclose any financial terms; investors should treat this as a technical milestone and support for NNE’s KRONOS MMR development rather than a direct revenue event.
