Partnerships

Nine partnerships are on record, tiered core, major and supporting.

• Nano Nuclear Energy Inc.coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 May 2026NANO Nuclear Energy acquired STS in a deal valued at up to $13 million to strengthen its nuclear materials transportation capabilities. The acquisition establishes a fully integrated nuclear fuel logistics platform and positions NANO Nuclear among a select group of revenue-generating microreactor developers. STS generated approximately $7.1 million in revenue and $1.3 million in net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
• U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerSTS supports the U.S. Department of Energy on various nuclear materials transportation initiatives. STS training instructors have been utilized by the U.S. DOE to conduct training for audiences ranging from nuclear regulators to local police in over 50 countries. STS maintains Radiation Worker certification per 10 CFR 835 and provides training and health physics support.
• National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerSTS served as prime contractor for the NNSA Global Threat Reduction Initiative, responsible for all aspects of projects including Peru Fuel Removal and Jamaica HEU Removal. This partnership involves safely removing U.S. origin nuclear material from foreign research facilities.
• U.S. Department of StatecoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerSTS supports the U.S. Department of State in nuclear nonproliferation efforts and international nuclear materials security initiatives. STS has worked with foreign government points of contact in over 30 countries to arrange overseas security escorts.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• EnergySolutions: EnergySolutions is a large diversified nuclear services platform (decommissioning, waste management, and fuel cycle logistics) whose spent fuel and large-component transport operations overlap with STS's core service line, particularly on DOE/EM contracts.
• Holtec International: Holtec is a broader nuclear equipment and services incumbent that owns NAC International; it designs casks, storage systems, and fuel cycle equipment, and competes with STS through its wholly owned transport subsidiary across the same government programs.

Direct peers

• Edlow International: Edlow International is a specialized nuclear fuel and radioactive materials transportation broker/operator with deep U.S. government relationships, overlapping directly with STS on Class 7 hazmat movements and nuclear fuel shipments.
• TN International (Orano): TN International (formerly Transnucléaire) is the global leader in nuclear materials transport and competes with STS in international HEU repatriation campaigns and spent fuel logistics through its worldwide cask and route network.
• Compagnie de Fret Maritime (CFM): CFM is a French-flag nuclear fuel maritime shipper with significant experience moving Class 7 radioactive cargo by sea, directly comparable to STS's multimodal ocean-vessel capabilities for international nuclear material movements.
• NAC International: NAC International (a Holtec International subsidiary) is the closest U.S. direct competitor, providing spent fuel storage and transportation systems, cask services, and nuclear logistics consulting — competing head-to-head with STS for the same NRC route approvals and government contracts.
