 and Health Administration), the regulations of the FDA, the environmental regulatory activities of the Environmental Protection Agency, the regulatory activities of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and tax and other regulations by a variety of regulatory authorities in each of the areas in which ONE Nuclear will conduct business. These include licensing of nuclear power plants, environmental reviews, safety assessments, emissions and discharge standards for environmental contaminants (including discharges to air and water, as well as waste disposal), and water use permitting. Regulatory approvals may impose restrictions, conditions, or delays that impact project economics or construction sequencing. For additional information, see the section titled “ Government Regulation.”

The NRC may modify, suspend, or revoke licenses, shut down a nuclear facility and impose civil penalties for failure to comply with the Atomic Energy Act, the NRC’s regulations thereunder, or the terms of the licenses for construction and operation of nuclear facilities.

Interested parties may also intervene and file protests against ONE Nuclear and its power projects, which could result in prolonged proceedings. A change in the Atomic Energy Act, other applicable statutes, or the applicable regulations or licenses, or the NRC’s interpretation thereof, may require a substantial increase in capital expenditures or may result in increased operating or decommissioning costs and could materially affect the results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition of ONE Nuclear. A change in the classification of a plant owned by one of these companies under the NRC’s reactor oversight process, which is the NRC’s program to collect information about plant performance, assess the information for its safety significance, and provide for appropriate licensee and NRC response, also could cause the owner of the plant to incur material additional costs as a result of the increased oversight activity and potential response costs associated with the change in classification.

Changes in laws or regulations, or shifts in political or public sentiment against nuclear or energy development, could materially increase compliance burdens or limit ONE Nuclear’s ability to operate.

Accidents involving nuclear power facilities, including but not limited to events similar to the Three Mile Island or Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accidents, or other high profile events involving radioactive materials, could materially and adversely affect the public perception of the safety of nuclear energy, ONE Nuclear’s customers and the markets in which ONE Nuclear operates and potentially decrease demand for nuclear energy or facilities, increase regulatory requirements and costs or result in liabilities or claims that could materially and adversely affect ONE Nuclear’s business.

Historical nuclear accidents and/or future incidents resulting in the uncontrolled release of radioactive material and fears of a new nuclear accident could hinder ONE Nuclear’s efforts
