$NNE today announced the acquisition of Secured Transportation Services LLC (STS), a specialized U.S. based, globally operating nuclear logistics, transportation and services company specializing in the safe, secure and compliant movement of radioactive and nuclear materials.
This acquisition represents a significant strategic milestone in NANO Nuclear’s evolution into a vertically integrated nuclear energy company by adding one of the most important and challenging elements of the nuclear fuel cycle: the capability to plan, coordinate, license, secure and execute nuclear materials transportation and related deployment activities.
With the addition of STS, NANO Nuclear is taking a decisive step toward becoming a leader in the next generation of nuclear energy infrastructure, with capabilities designed to support reactor deployment and the broader ecosystem required to enable commercialization at scale.
One of the most significant barriers to scaling advanced nuclear technologies is not the reactor itself, but the infrastructure required to support it, particularly fuel transportation. The transport of nuclear materials, particularly spent fuel, HALEU fuel and advanced reactor components, is one of the most highly regulated and operationally complex segments of the nuclear fuel cycle, with emerging capacity constraints expected as next-generation reactor deployments accelerate.
With STS part of the organization, NANO Nuclear is competitively well positioned to:
Control and coordinate critical nuclear fuel transportation logistics.
Support deployment planning for microreactors and related advanced nuclear systems.
Reduce reliance on third-party nuclear logistics providers for core transportation and deployment functions.
Navigate complex regulatory, security and route-approval requirements.
Develop repeatable deployment models for defense, data center, industrial, remote and international customers.
Support a broader ecosystem of nuclear fuel-cycle services expected to be required by NANO Nuclear and other nuclear industry participants.
Founded in 2005, STS brings more than two decades of specialized nuclear transportation experience and a strong track record of executing complex nuclear materials projects safely, securely and efficiently. STS personnel have completed projects in more than 40 countries, providing NANO Nuclear with operational experience in navigating various regulatory requirements, physical challenges and political environments. STS currently holds approvals for more than 90% of the active U.S. NRC approved spent fuel routes in the United States.
STS brings a team of highly experienced professionals with backgrounds spanning nuclear engineering, logistics, regulatory affairs, and operations - capabilities that are difficult to procure and essential to transporting fuel and deploying reactors at scale.
In addition, the acquisition of STS provides NANO Nuclear with revenue generating operations. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, STS generated audited revenues of approximately $7.1 million and net income of approximately $1.3 million, reflecting strong underlying profitability and operational efficiency. Equally as important, NANO Nuclear sees substantial opportunity for growth at STS in the coming years as demand for nuclear fuel transportation and logistics accelerates. STS is expected to benefit from NANO Nuclear’s relationships and exposure to several aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle, as well as NANO Nuclear’s strong financial position through prudent deployment of strategic growth capital.
