Hadron Energy Receives Letter of Support From the White House Before Government Shutdown

NEW YORK – Hadron Energy, Inc. (“Hadron”), a cutting-edge innovator in Micro Modular Reactor (“MMR”) technology, announced today that it has received an official White House communication recognizing the company’s critical role in strengthening U.S. energy resilience and national defense infrastructure. The correspondence arrived just days before the federal government shutdown, highlighting the bipartisan urgency of accelerating advanced nuclear deployment to meet the nation’s growing energy needs.

The letter identified Hadron’s 10MW light-water MMR program as aligned with the Administration’s strategic energy and security goals. It also referenced ongoing federal initiatives aimed at streamlining nuclear regulatory pathways and expanding resilient power for mission-critical facilities, including Department of Defense (DoD)installations and high-capacity artificial intelligence data centers now designated as critical national infrastructure.

“This acknowledgment from the White House is a clear signal that what we’re building at Hadron matters to the country’s future,” said Samuel Gibson, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of HadronEnergy, Inc. “Reliable, American-made nuclear power is key to our national security and competitiveness. Getting this message right before the shutdown made it clear that our work will continue regardless of political uncertainty.”

Hadron’s factory-built, transportable reactors are designed for rapid deployment and will operate on a ten-year fueling cycle, providing carbon-free, always-on power for defense, industrial, and data center applications. The compact pressurized-water design integrates an in-vessel steam generator, sealed containment, and simplified operation that shorten construction timelines and reduce costs compared to conventional nuclear plants.

“This level of recognition from the federal government shows that microreactors are no longer an idea on paper,” said Ross Ridenoure, Chief Nuclear Officer of Hadron Energy. “They are now viewed as an essential part of the nation’s energy and security strategy. It validates our technical roadmap and opens the door for deeper collaboration with both government and private-sector partners.”

This development follows Hadron’s recently announced $1.2Bn definitive business combination agreement with GigCapital7Corp. (Nasdaq: GIG), which will make Hadron the first publicly traded light-water microreactor company in the world. The White House communication strengthens Hadron’s position as a leader in the emerging U.S. nuclear renaissance, helping deliver secure, zero-carbon energy where it is needed most.
