EXHIBIT A

I. STATEMENT OF WORK

NEEC will support the design and development of a solidcore 1 MWe nuclear reactor as pursued by Nano Nuclear according to Nano Nuclear’s high-level objectives:

● At least 1 MWe power output

● At least 20 full power years without refueling

● Small excess reactivity throughout the lifetime of the core

● Passive cooling through heat conduction with no pumps or valves in the primary loop

● “Walk-away” passive safety

● Autonomous load following capability

● Simple to construct, operate, and maintain with a centralized domestic facility that maintains control of the nuclear material at all times.

● Reactor module is factory manufactured and fueled.

● Reactor can be shipped to and from the site as a single sealed module

● Very robust proliferation resistance.

● The conversion system utilizes the Brayton cycle based on current proven commercially available turbines, leading to high efficiency and low maintenance and installation costs.

Baseline reactor concept

Based on the high-level objectives listed above, we propose a baseline concept with the following features:

To meet the requirements of long life, small excess reactivity, and heat transfer by conduction the proposed design is envisioned to feature a fast spectrum and low power density. We will maximize the total core power according to the limitations of core materials aiming to the target of 1 MWe.

Determining the feasibility and the specific of such design will be the major aim of this work.

Work scope

NEEC will bill NANO monthly for $80,000 (or less in case of reduced workload).
