Radnostix and NANO Nuclear Energy Announce Joint Submission of Letter of Intent to NRC Seeking Consent for Transfer of License SUB-1011, Following Lea County Approval of Property LOI
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Radnostix, Inc. (formerly International Isotopes Inc.) (OTCQB: INIS) ("Radnostix" or the "Company") today announced that they have jointly submitted a Letter of Intent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) seeking the NRC's consent for the transfer of ownership of NRC Material License SUB-1011 in connection with the previously announced asset purchase agreement.
The joint Letter of Intent requests NRC consent under 10 CFR 40.46 for the transfer of control of License SUB-1011 from Radnostix and its subsidiary International Isotopes Fluorine Products, Inc. to NANO Nuclear's wholly owned subsidiary, HALEU Energy Fuel Inc. The parties expect to follow the Letter of Intent with a formal consent application. NRC consent is a key closing condition of the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into on September 28, 2026.
This NRC step follows the Lea County Board of County Commissioners' unanimous passage of Resolution No. 26-SEP-229R. That resolution authorized a Letter of Intent between Lea County and NANO Nuclear for the potential transfer of approximately 640 acres in Section 27, Township 18 South, Range 36 East, N.M.P.M. (the former International Isotopes DUF6 deconversion project site).
The joint NRC Letter of Intent and the County property LOI are linked milestones supporting the transaction under which HALEU Energy Fuel Inc. would acquire the DUF6 deconversion and fluorine extraction assets, including License SUB-1011. The assets are expected to accelerate NANO Nuclear's domestic nuclear fuel-cycle capabilities by several years while allowing Radnostix to focus on radioisotope technologies.
The Hobbs Site comprises approximately 640 acres and is associated with the Company's previously planned depleted uranium hexafluoride ("DUF6") deconversion and fluorine extraction facility and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") Material License SUB-1011 that the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary and International Isotopes Fluorine Products, Inc. (IIFP), has agreed to sell to NANO Nuclear and its wholly owned subsidiary, HALEU Energy Fuel Inc. ("HEF". The County resolution does not itself complete the property transfer; it authorizes the LOI and provides a framework for NANO Nuclear, Lea County, and Radnostix to continue negotiating definitive site arrangements, subject to required approvals, documentation and remaining closing conditions.
Management Comment
"Our joint submission to the NRC marks another important step toward completing this strategic transaction. With the process advancing as anticipated, we remain on track toward closing and positioning NANO Nuclear to further strengthen its role within the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle." said James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Nuclear Energy.
Shahe Bagerdjian, Chief Executive Officer of Radnostix, added: "The joint submission seeking NRC consent for the transfer of License SUB-1011, together with the County's Letter of Intent approval, provides clear momentum for getting to closing and remain confident we will get there within our agreed timelines."
Transaction and Site Transfer Next Steps
The parties continue to target a closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement in approximately 90 to 120 days. Closing remains subject to NRC consent to transfer Material License SUB-1011 to HEF, final site arrangements with Lea County, completion of environmental assessments satisfactory to HEF, other required approvals and consents, and other customary closing conditions. Under the previously announced asset purchase agreement, the agreed consideration comprises $9.5 million in cash, inclusive of the $0.5 million deposit previously funded by NANO Nuclear, and NANO common stock valued at $4.0 million using the contractual volume-weighted average price formula, in each case subject to the terms of the agreement. Radnostix, NANO Nuclear and the relevant governmental authorities are continuing to advance these workstreams; the timing of closing will depend on completion of the applicable regulatory, site and transaction conditions.
