## About HEXANA

HEXANA is a French industrial startup founded in 2023 and based in Aix-en-Provence.

As a spin-off of the French Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission (CEA), the company focuses on developing fourth-generation nuclear technology. HEXANA aims to provide a cost-competitive and sovereign alternative to fossil fuels for heavy industry and long-distance transportation, utilizing spent nuclear fuel available in France and Europe to decarbonize industrial processes. The company's core product is a modular Small Modular Reactor (SMR) platform featuring a sodium-cooled fast-neutron reactor. This innovative design allows for continuous energy production and flexible electricity on demand, catering to the needs of heavy industries such as chemical, petrochemical, steel manufacturing, and cement production. HEXANA is actively developing its technology for industrial deployment, with plans to commission its first industrial-scale reactor by 2035. The company is also exploring international expansion, engaging with partners across Europe to support the energy transition.
