250 years of Independence. Grateful for the freedom to build what's next. 🇺🇸

@da_sails We’re building a fuel manufacturing facility on the Idaho DOE reservation for this purpose.

@BrianAde Fuel Line Pilot transfer > Launchpad (assuming some sort of Program Manager handles this) TRISO Production Plan > scale with new launchpad entrants INL infra requirements Could be off lol

DOE IS HANDING PRIVATE NUCLEAR DEVELOPERS FEDERAL LAND AND A PATH AROUND NRC LICENSING. FIRST DEADLINE: ONE WEEK FROM TODAY NRIC NUCLEAR ENERGY LAUNCH PAD KEY DATES · June 19: Questions due AND interested applicants must submit contact info for the first selection round (5 PM MDT) · July 8: First-round applications due, 50-page Technical Volume, fully private funding · August 19: Initial selections anticipated · RFA stays open continuously after round one, with rolling reviews This is the Reactor and Fuel Line Pilot Program model made permanent: reactors, enrichment, fuel fab, and recycling under DOE authorization on a 2,000-acre INL site or anywhere in the U.S.A. pathway. Who actually files in 26 days?

@da_sails @standardnuclear 🙌

STANDARD NUCLEAR HAS A NASA SPACE NUCLEAR PROPULSION CONTRACT EXTENSION. ALMOST NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT. BEYOND TERRESTRIAL TRISO · In 2025, NASA awarded Standard Nuclear a space nuclear propulsion contract extension, the same company now scaling HALEU TRISO production in Oak Ridge for the domestic advanced reactor buildout. · July 2025: Standard Nuclear and SHINE Technologies announced a framework agreement under which SHINE will supply Sr-90 and Am-241 specifically for Standard Nuclear's radioisotope power systems for space and defense applications. · The company characterizes its TRISO as designed for both terrestrial advanced reactors and space reactor applications, including nuclear thermal propulsion concepts. · Both the NASA contract work and the RPS capabilities were acquired via Standard Nuclear's ~$28M purchase of Ultra Safe Nuclear's fuel assets and technology contracts out of bankruptcy in early 2025. Every successful fuel application validates the fuel for every other one. Radiant is proof point one, NASA is proof point two, and defense installations, commercial space, and allied export markets are all downstream from there. This isn't a fuel business built for one customer. It's infrastructure for a multi-domain nuclear economy. What does the negotiating position look like when proof point three lands?

@DougBernauer Nice hat I see btw!

@DougBernauer We’re working on it!

Atomic heat extractor ready for rock! *Just add uranium*

@da_sails @kterrani @standardnuclear @thomasehendrix Thanks for stopping by!

HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF TOURING THE ONLY INDEPENDENT TRISO FUEL MANUFACTURER IN THE UNITED STATES TODAY. Huge thanks to @BrianAde and the @StandardNuclear team for opening the doors for me and my wife. Shoutout to @thomasehendrix for the call out! What They're Building • Only independent, reactor-agnostic TRISO fuel manufacturer in the U.S. • Operating on the historic K-25 site in Oak Ridge, TN • Already producing HALEU TRISO fuel under a first-of-its-kind DOE authorization What We Saw • Active TRISO fuel fabrication - the real thing, not a concept • A team that understands the urgency of building a domestic advanced fuel supply chain (July 4 👀👀) The domestic advanced nuclear fuel supply chain is not theoretical - Standard Nuclear is proving it works, one particle at a time.

@da_sails @thomasehendrix @standardnuclear We will be there from 6 AM though the afternoon. Lunch at 1130-1200 or so.

@BrianAde @thomasehendrix @standardnuclear What time are you all setting up shop? 👀

Any recommended stops in Chattanooga, Oak Ridge, Knoxville, TN areas?

@da_sails @thomasehendrix @standardnuclear Grilling and making America’s most robust nuclear fuel. Come see it in action.

@thomasehendrix @standardnuclear 👀👀 would love to. Assuming the team will be enjoying the holiday tomorrow.

@UnoMasReactor @RadiantNuclear @WECNuclear @AntaresNuclear Let us know if you guys need anything.

The Air Force and DIU selected the first microreactor developers under the ANPI program 🤘 @RadiantNuclear in Colorado @WECNuclear in Montana @AntaresNuclear in Texas Goal: "at least one advanced nuclear reactor operating on at least one DAF installation by 2030 or sooner"

Hey. Follow along as we build America's advanced nuclear fuel company: @StandardNuclear 🇺🇸☢️ Thank you for your attention this matter!

"If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." - Sir Isaac Newton, 1675 We've got a giant on our team. Dr. John Hunn builds the techniques that make the most robust nuclear fuel on earth. #TRISO

This is what it's about. Staying late, preparing kernels and getting coating ready. To make safe and advanced nuclear fuel. At @standardnuclear everyone pulls their weight, even the VP of Fuel Production. Thank you, Mike! 🙏⚛️

Some people make pancakes on the weekend, we make America’s most robust nuclear fuel. 🇺🇸

Standard Nuclear raised $140 million to boost production of fuel for advanced reactors in an effort to expand the US energy supply chain amid surging interest in fission power bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

🇺🇸GOOD MORNING AMERICA🇺🇸 We just raised $140M to power our energy future.☢️ businesswire.com/news/home/2026…

This is a big step. Lots of hard work ahead, but we’re looking forward to seeing this fuel go critical and produce power this summer.

@KVanValkenburg The narrative podcasts were awesome. Loved every one. Would love for the team to find a way to keep you doing those!

Hello friends. A few weeks ago, the partners at NoLayingUp let me know they wanted to make a change and move forward without me as full-time member of the team. I decided I needed to pursue full-time opportunities, and they of course understood. So we are parting.
