Nano Nuclear Energy signs commercial framework with Tillman for nuclear power in data centers

NANO Nuclear Energy and Tillman Global Holdings have entered a strategic commercial framework that positions NANO’s microreactor technology as the preferred nuclear energy source for Tillman’s future AI data center campuses across the United States. The non-binding agreement, announced on August 24, lays out a roadmap to deploy over 2 GW of advanced nuclear capacity by the mid-2030s, scaling to 6 GW by 2040. What the deal actually includes The framework designates NANO Nuclear’s KRONOS MMR microreactor, rated at 15 megawatts electric, as Tillman Global’s go-to nuclear energy solution. The collaboration spans multiple phases: site evaluation, licensing support, and project development. On the financial side, the structure is built around milestone-based equity incentives. NANO Nuclear could receive warrants worth up to $100 million in NNE stock, contingent primarily on binding reactor purchase commitments. There’s also an initial restricted stock grant of $5 million baked into the arrangement. The word “non-binding” deserves emphasis here. Nothing in this framework obligates either party to purchase, build, or deploy anything. The aggressive capacity targets are contingent on defini...
