Subash Chandra's questions to Nano Nuclear Energy (NNE) leadership

Question · Q3 2025

Subash Chandra of The Benchmark Company, LLC questioned why Nanonuclear did not apply for the DOE's Advanced Reactor pilot program and asked for an assessment of the graphite supply chain, including its role in the reactor design and sourcing strategy.

Answer

CEO James Walker explained that applying for the DOE program was disadvantageous, citing higher costs, a lack of commercial benefit, and resource diversion from their primary goal. Founder, Executive Chairman & President Jay Jiang Yu added that it did not fit their rapid commercialization model. On the supply chain, Walker identified nuclear-grade graphite and the reactor pressure vessel as critical components that will be outsourced to specialized, experienced global suppliers, while most other components will be assembled at a planned core manufacturing facility.

Subash Chandra's questions to Amplify Energy (AMPY) leadership

Question · Q2 2024

Asked about the A50 well's cycle time, the value proposition of investing in Haynesville wells versus more Beta wells, and whether a material acceleration of the Beta program would require both organic cash flow and asset monetization proceeds.

Answer

The A50 well's cycle time was as expected. The investment in Haynesville does not preclude accelerating the Beta program, as capital is not the ultimate constraint. A material acceleration at Beta can be funded by organic free cash flow alone, especially after the major infrastructure project is completed in Q3, which will significantly boost free cash flow from Q4 onwards.
