Terra Innovatum Inc. has requested a voluntary preapplication readiness review from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to support its planned construction permit application for the SOLO™ micro-modular reactor. This strategic move is designed to align licensing efforts with the company’s previously communicated objective to submit the SOLO™ Construction Permit Application in 2026, targeting commercialization in 2028. By engaging the NRC early, Terra Innovatum aims to identify technical, regulatory, and administrative observations ahead of formal submission, thereby strengthening application quality and facilitating an efficient review process under its accelerated parallel construction permit and operating license strategy.

Review Process and Timeline

The readiness review enables NRC staff to examine draft safety and environmental documentation before the formal application submittal. Terra Innovatum plans to provide draft sections of its Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) and Environmental Report to the NRC on a phased basis. These documents will be shared through a secure electronic reading room beginning in July 2026.

The company has requested that NRC staff commence the readiness review in August 2026. This timeline is intended to align with Terra Innovatum’s planned submission of the SOLO™ Construction Permit Application later in the year.

Strategic Implications

The early engagement with the NRC is a critical component of Terra Innovatum’s accelerated licensing strategy. By allowing regulators to review draft materials in advance, the company seeks to mitigate potential delays and enhance the overall efficiency of the regulatory review. This approach supports the broader goal of bringing the SOLO™ reactor to market by 2028, adhering to the aggressive timeline previously outlined by management.

Terra Innovatum Global N.V. has entered into a Letter of Intent with Waiken ILW to deploy its SOLO micro-modular reactor platform for the data center infrastructure of DIRECTV Latin America and SKY Brasil. The initial deployment targets up to 8 MWe of behind-the-meter generating capacity to support broadcasting data centers in Argentina and Brazil. This agreement marks Terra Innovatum's first announced commercial deployment initiative in Latin America, reflecting growing international demand for standardized, factory-built micro-modular nuclear power.

Deployment Details

The agreement outlines an initial deployment of the SOLO micro-modular reactor platform. The system will provide behind-the-meter generating capacity, directly supplying power to the data center facilities. The specified capacity in the Letter of Intent is up to 8 MWe.

Strategic Context

Terra Innovatum Global N.V. focuses on the development of micro-modular nuclear reactors. The selection by Waiken ILW for a project involving DIRECTV Latin America and SKY Brasil represents a commercial validation of the SOLO platform. The behind-the-meter configuration suggests a focus on reliable, dedicated power supply for critical infrastructure.

Alessandro Petruzzi, Co-Founder & CEO at Terra Innovatum Global, commented that the initiative aims to provide reliable, behind-the-meter clean energy solutions for Waiken ILW’s datacenters while serving as a proof of concept for other long-term, energy-intensive operations within the Waiken ILW group of companies. He noted that critical communications infrastructure demands uninterrupted, resilient power and that the agreement demonstrates the growing commercial opportunity for behind-the-meter nuclear energy beyond AI data centers, extending into media, telecommunications and other critical infrastructure sectors.

Giordano Morichi, Founding Partner - Chief Business Development Officer & Director of Investor Relations, added that the strategic collaboration highlights the commercial strength of the company's global supply chain and the versatility of the SOLO technology. He stated that SOLO is a platform that can scale across multiple industries and geographies, including telecommunications, cloud infrastructure and datacenters, financial services, healthcare, industrial facilities and other mission-critical operations.

Carlos Magariños, Chief Global and Regulatory Strategy at Waiken ILW, said the partnership aims to drive a forward-looking energy strategy reinforcing the group's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and technological excellence. He indicated that the alliance will strengthen infrastructure by delivering reliable, behind-the-meter clean energy to DIRECTV’s and SKY’s broadcasting data centers, paving the way for a cleaner, more resilient, and self-sustaining energy future across Argentina, Brazil, and the broader region.
