Hadron Energy, a nuclear energy disruptor advised by Duane Morris LLP, unveiled Monday that it will go public through a merger with special purpose acquisition company GigCapital7 Corp., which is represented by DLA Piper. The blockbuster deal, valued at $1.2 billion, places Hadron’s light water micro modular reactor (MMR) technology at the center of Wall Street’s clean energy spotlight.
The agreement hands Hadron’s current security holders 100 million shares of GigCapital7 stock, signaling investor faith in compact, next-generation nuclear power.
The Promise of Micro Modular Reactors
At the heart of Hadron’s pitch is its MMR, a small-scale reactor capable of delivering 10 megawatts of electricity and 35 megawatts of thermal heat, running on a 10-year fueling cycle. The company says this innovation is poised to tackle soaring electricity demand fueled by data centers and artificial intelligence.
“With power demand surging, nuclear energy is re-emerging as a compelling answer,” CEO Samuel Gibson said. “Legacy nuclear is not enough—we need scalable, safe, and versatile solutions. This partnership with GigCapital7 launches us into a new era of clean energy.”
Hadron reports strong market interest across industries and ongoing engagement with regulators, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Energy.
