. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, we could be subject to fines or penalties from local, state, and federal regulators.

Our operations and business plans could be significantly impacted by changes in U.S. political support and federal, state, and local government policies and priorities.

The current environment of bipartisan political support of advanced nuclear power technologies at the U.S. federal level could change. Changes in support, in policies, or in priorities by the legislative or executive branch could have impacts on the leadership at the NRC, the DOE, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or any other federal agency which affects policy related to nuclear power. Each of these agencies themselves may experience changes in policies and priorities which impact our operations and business plans. Federal, state, and local policies and priorities could affect regulatory oversight, supply chain availability, tax and other financial incentives or costs, availability of financing, labor force initiatives or restrictions, and many other possible areas.

The NRC also has the authority to issue new regulatory requirements or to change existing requirements. Changes to the regulatory requirements, could require us to incur additional expenses to retrofit any of our nuclear facilities under the NRC’s jurisdiction to bring them into compliance or otherwise adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Additionally, changes in federal, state, or local government policies and priorities can impact the nuclear fuel supply chain. These could include changes in interpretations of regulatory requirements, increased inspection or enforcement activities, changes in budgetary priorities, changes in tax laws and regulations and other government actions or inaction. Any of these local, state, and federal agencies may have the authority to impose civil penalties and additional requirements, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Changes in governmental agency budgets as well as staffing shortages at national laboratories and other governmental agencies may lengthen our estimated timelines for regulatory approval and construction.

Certain areas of our research and development activities are dependent upon various regulatory approvals and may be undertaken through collaborations with universities or national laboratories. Government agency budgets and staffing are driven by the priorities of leadership at federal agencies as well as policy makers. Many universities rely on federal or state funding to support research and development activities. Changes in governmental agency budgets, personnel, and any resulting staffing shortages may delay our research and development initiatives, including site testing and other activities, and delay or prevent the issuance of required regulatory approvals (e.g., permits or licenses) for our product. Additionally, although we feel that collaborations with universities and national laboratories is beneficial to our research and development
