 actions, including nuclear licensing and federal loan-program 
 participation.                                                                                      |

| ● | Resource                                                                                
 Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) – governing handling and disposal of certain waste 
 streams.                                                                                |

Compliance obligations may require extensive environmental studies, mitigation measures, and coordination with federal and state agencies. Environmental approvals may be challenged by third parties, potentially delaying or affecting project development.

State and Local Permitting

In addition to federal oversight, ONE Nuclear’s projects require a range of state and local permits and approvals, including:

| ● | zoning,                        
 land-use and building permits; |

| ● | water-use                                    
 rights and groundwater/extraction approvals; |

| ● | environmental                            
 permits for air, water and construction; |

| ● | state                                                         
 energy-facility siting board approvals, where applicable; and |

| ● | local                                              
 community, tribal, and regional authority reviews. |

State-level requirements vary widely across jurisdictions and may impact siting, timelines, and development costs.

Transmission Interconnection and Market Participation

| ● | ONE                                                                                        
 Nuclear’s energy parks will need to comply with the rules and procedures of regional       
 transmission organizations (“RTOs”) and independent system operators (“ISOs”)              
 for grid interconnection, capacity accreditation, and market participation. These include: |

| ○ | interconnection                         
 studies under FERC-regulated processes; |

| ○ | compliance                                         
 with RTO/ISO market rules for energy and capacity; |

| ○ | operational                                       
 standards governing reliability and dispatch; and |

| ○ | tariffs                                 
 affecting market access and settlement. |

Grid interconnection queues across many regions remain congested, and timelines are uncertain. Regulatory reforms or interconnection delays could materially affect project schedules.

Natural-Gas Infrastructure and Regulation

ONE Nuclear’s near-term natural-gas deployment relies on access to interstate or intrastate natural-gas pipeline systems. These systems are subject to federal and state regulation, including:

| ● | Federal                                                                       
 Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) jurisdiction over interstate pipelines; |

| ● | state                                                       
 utility-commission oversight of intrastate gas systems; and |

| ● | permitting                                                   
 requirements for new gas laterals or compression facilities. |

Availability of pipeline capacity and permitting timelines may affect site selection and project viability.

Federal Incentives, Loan Programs and Tax Policies

Federal policy includes several incentives relevant to advanced nuclear and low-carbon energy infrastructure, such as:

| ● | production                              
 tax credits for
