 increasingly stringent federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. Such federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations govern ONE Nuclear’s activities, including those laws and regulations with respect to air emissions, waste disposal, protection of environmentally sensitive areas or endangered, threatened or otherwise protected species, protection of archaeological or cultural resources, water use and discharges, and with respect to the treatment, storage, recycling, disposal, and transportation of hazardous and solid waste and low-level radioactive waste. These laws and regulations impose numerous requirements, including requiring permits to conduct hazardous and non-hazardous activities, incurring costs to limit or prevent pollution or releases of regulated materials to the environment, and imposing substantial civil, administrative and criminal penalties and liabilities for noncompliance. Noncompliance may also result in injunctive relief and potential third-party claims or citizen suits to enforce such laws and regulations. These laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability upon ONE Nuclear to address pollution or contamination on its projected power project sites, regardless of whether ONE Nuclear caused the pollution or contamination. ONE Nuclear may incur substantial costs to obtain and maintain compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

Changes in laws and regulations can occur and these changes can be difficult to predict. New laws or regulations, or more stringent enforcement of existing laws or regulations, could adversely affect ONE Nuclear’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

If ONE Nuclear cannot obtain required permits, licenses and regulatory clearance or approvals for its proposed power projects or its operations, or is unable to maintain such permits, licenses or approvals, ONE Nuclear may not be able to continue or expand its operations.

Under environmental laws and regulations ONE Nuclear will be required to obtain and maintain permits or licenses to conduct its activities and then to conduct those activities in compliance with such permits and licenses as well as with environmental laws and regulations. Issuance of permits for ONE Nuclear’s proposed projects and activities will be subject to the discretion of government authorities, and ONE Nuclear may be unable to obtain or maintain such permits. Permits required for future development may not be obtainable on reasonable terms or on a timely basis. There can be no assurance that ONE Nuclear will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the development of its proposed power projects (or any other properties that ONE Nuclear may subsequently acquire).
