Recognition and recent specialized uranium hexafluoride shipment for LIS Technologies highlight STS’s capabilities across government and commercial nuclear transportation projects

New York, US – Newsfile Corp. – October 20, 2026 – NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) (“NANO Nuclear” or the “Company”), an advanced nuclear energy and technology company developing microreactors, nuclear fuel cycle capabilities and nuclear transportation solutions, today announced that its subsidiary Secured Transportation Services LLC (“STS”) was recognized for its contributions to two nuclear material transportation missions whose teams received 2026 U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) Secretary of Energy Achievement Awards. The awards, presented on September 28, 2026, recognized the Japan High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (“HALEU”) Removal and Venezuela Highly Enriched Uranium (“HEU”) Removal teams for their successful execution of complex international nuclear material removal and transportation operations.

For the Japan HALEU removal mission, STS served as DOE’s prime logistics contractor, coordinating the international shipment of approximately 1.7 metric tons of HALEU to the United States, the largest single international uranium shipment in the history of the National Nuclear Security Administration (“NNSA”), along with associated spent nuclear fuel. STS coordinated international transportation logistics, licensing, security coordination and delivery to designated U.S. facilities. Separately, for the Venezuela HEU removal mission, STS coordinated the U.S. receipt and inland transportation of approximately 13.5 kilograms of HEU removed from a dormant research reactor, facilitating its secure delivery to the Savannah River Site in South Carolina.

Both missions highlight STS’ specialized nuclear transportation capabilities, which are integral to supporting national security, international nonproliferation cooperation and the development of a more resilient domestic nuclear fuel supply chain. The HALEU transferred from Japan is expected to support advanced reactor fuel development through DOE’s HALEU Availability Program, while the HEU removed from Venezuela is expected to be processed for future use in the U.S. advanced nuclear fuel supply chain.

Separately, STS recently completed a specialized uranium hexafluoride (“UF₆”) shipment to LIS Technologies Inc. (“LIST”), supporting LIST’s ongoing uranium enrichment technology development and testing activities. STS served as the lead logistics and transportation coordinator, overseeing shipment planning, packaging arrangements and delivery. To address the highly specialized packaging requirements associated with the material’s 5B UF₆ cylinders, STS worked with a subcontractor to arrange for the modification and use of a UX-30 transportation overpack. STS also contracted with Tri-State Secure Trucking to perform the over-the-road transportation. The shipment delivered the first physical UF₆ material for LIST’s testing program in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, enabling further evaluation of its laser-based uranium enrichment technology. NANO Nuclear and LIST are affiliated companies.

“These awards reflect the exceptional teamwork and specialized expertise required to safely execute some of the most complex nuclear material transportation missions,” said Roy Boyd, President of STS. “We are proud of our contributions to these important DOE and NNSA initiatives, as well as our continued work supporting commercial customers such as LIS Technologies. Each project demonstrates the critical role that experienced logistics coordination, specialized packaging solutions and regulatory expertise play in advancing the U.S. nuclear industry.”

“STS’s contributions to these nationally significant missions highlight the value of the specialized capabilities we added through its acquisition earlier this year,” said James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Nuclear. “As we continue developing our microreactor technology and expanding our nuclear fuel cycle capabilities, STS provides an established platform for supporting the safe and secure movement of nuclear materials for both government and commercial customers.”

Inaugural Year Marked by Significant Progress in Case Administration, Capacity Building and International Engagement

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 October 2026 – The International Organization for Mediation (IOMed) today hosted the IOMed 1st Anniversary Celebration at its headquarters in Hong Kong. The Hon John KC Lee, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, graced the occasion as the Guest of Honour. Professor Teresa Cheng, Secretary-General of IOMed, Mr Cui Jianchun, Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China in the HKSAR, the Hon Andrew Cheung, Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and more than 140 guests from Contracting States and Signatory States to the IOMed Convention, diplomatic missions, government agencies, the legal and dispute resolution community, and the business sector, celebrated the first anniversary of IOMed together, reflecting on its achievements in the inaugural year, and reaffirming their shared commitment to advancing peace, cooperation and common development through dialogue.

Celebrating an Important Milestone

Professor Teresa Cheng, the Hon John KC Lee, and Mr Cui Jianchun delivered remarks celebrating this memorable moment.

Chief Executive remarked that, “The IOMed is a vital platform for promoting global peace and prosperity. And the HKSAR Government will continue to support the IOMed, in keeping with the National 15th Five-Year Plan and Hong Kong’s First Five-Year Plan. Hong Kong, after all, is the world’s only Chinese‑English, bilingual common law jurisdiction. And our status as an international legal and dispute resolution services centre is internationally recognised.”

Professor Cheng stated, “IOMed will continue to provide accessible, efficient, and effective mediation services, strengthen international partnerships, and promote mediation through capacity building and the exchange of experiences.”

Commissioner Cui Jianchun said in his speech that “Over the past year, we have witnessed the International Organization for Mediation transition from vision to reality through the ‘ACE’ framework—Accession, Cases, and Ecosystem. As the host country, China remains fully committed to supporting IOMed’s long-term goals, injecting positive legal energy into peaceful dispute settlement and contributing to a shared community for humanity.”

Since its inauguration one year ago, IOMed has continued to promote the peaceful settlement of international disputes through mediation. In an increasingly complex and evolving international environment, mediation plays an important role as an amicable, effective and flexible means of dispute resolution. By promoting dialogue and mutually beneficial solutions, mediation can help bridge differences, build trust, and strengthen international cooperation.

Successful Stories in IOMed-Administered Mediation

IOMed is the world’s first intergovernmental legal organization dedicated to resolving international disputes through mediation. Since commencing operations, IOMed has received multiple cases and facilitated the successful settlement of more than one case, including its first case of international maritime dispute. The case involved enterprises from China, a Contracting State of IOMed, and Singapore, a non-signatory State. With the assistance of the mediator, the parties reached an amicable settlement efficiently through mediation, demonstrating the effectiveness of mediation as a means of resolving complex cross-border commercial disputes.

The case also reflects the openness and inclusiveness of IOMed as an independent international organization. Subject to the consent of the parties concerned, disputes involving non-Contracting States and their nationals may also be submitted to IOMed for mediation. A growing number of cases have since been submitted to IOMed, reflecting increasing confidence in its mediation mechanism and professional services.

Expanding Global Cooperation Network

Growing confidence in IOMed is also reflected in the continued expansion of its international cooperation network. To date, the number of Signatory and Acceding States has increased to 48, while the number of Contracting States has reached 18, spanning Asia, Africa, Latin America, Oceania and Europe. The Global Mediation Summit, hosted by IOMed in May 2026, brought together participants from more than 60 countries and regions, demonstrating broad international recognition of and support for mediation. In addition, IOMed delegations conducted outreach visits to 15 countries, attending international conferences and engaging government officials, local business community and legal professionals. At the same time, its Headquarters welcomed more than 2,500 visitors from around the world.

Through cooperation with other international organizations and partners, IOMed has delivered a range of training programmes on inter-State mediation and investor-State mediation for its member States. It has also launched platforms for intellectual exchanges, such as Dialogue with Mediators and the IOMed Global Dialogue Series, supporting sharing of knowledge and best practices with a view to promoting the use of mediation.

Contributing to Hong Kong’s Development as the “Global Capital of Mediation”

As the first intergovernmental organization headquartered in Hong Kong, IOMed’s achievements during its inaugural year also underscore the unique strengths of Hong Kong, the host city of the Organization, as an international legal and dispute resolution services centre and a bridge connecting different legal systems and cultures.

Based on the 2026 Policy Address and Hong Kong’s first Five-Year Plan, the Hong Kong SAR will continue to render full support to the work of the IOMed headquartered in Hong Kong, building a Global Capital of Mediation. IOMed welcomes this strategic direction and is confident that IOMed and Hong Kong will continue to make significant contribution to each other’s development and success.

Fostering a Global Mediation Ecosystem

Looking ahead, IOMed will continue its efforts to foster a global mediation ecosystem. Through international exchanges and cooperation, as well as training and capacity-building initiatives, IOMed will continue to promote the use of mediation among governments, the business community, the legal profession and other stakeholders, with a view to enhancing global awareness and understanding of mediation.

IOMed is preparing to launch the IOMed Moot, a mediation moot competition, to promote the culture of mediation among the youth and cultivate next-generation professionals. In addition, IOMed will continue to organize events under IOMed Global Series and Dialogue with Mediators, providing platforms for professional exchange and collaboration, and contributing to a more effective and inclusive framework for the resolution of international disputes.

Hosting IOMed Forum in December 2026

On 8 December 2026 (Tuesday), IOMed will host the inauguraledition of its signature event IOMed Forum under the theme “Mediation for Peace and Prosperity — The New Frontier” in Hong Kong. The Forum will bring together government officials, legal experts, business leaders and international stakeholders to exchange insights on the future of international mediation.

HANGZHOU, China, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ORYXEARTH, an outdoor entertainment brand, has launched the BRM200-1, a 196cc gas-powered mini bike and the newest addition to the BRM200 series, for riders looking for a simple, accessible way to enjoy off-road trail riding.

The Appeal of Gas-Powered Mini Bike Riding

For traditional off-road enthusiasts, the magic of a weekend ride cannot be replicated: pulling the starter cord, listening to the distinct rumble of a four-stroke engine, and feeling instant low-end torque kick in the moment you twist the throttle. Yet, chasing that authentic mechanical rush too often means dealing with the intimidating weight, complex maintenance, and five-figure price tags of full-size motorcycles.

ORYXEARTH BRM200-1 Mini Bike
ORYXEARTH BRM200-1 Mini Bike

The ORYXEARTH BRM200-1 brings the familiar feel of gas-powered riding to a compact mini bike, giving riders a more approachable way to enjoy outdoor riding and suitable unpaved surfaces.

Highlights of the ORYXEARTH BRM200-1

  • 196cc Four-Stroke Engine: Powered by a reliable air-cooled, single-cylinder four-stroke engine, it churns out 6.5 horsepower (4.0 kW at 3,600 rpm) and 11 N•m of torque at 2,500 rpm, unleashing thrilling top speeds of up to 35 mph (56 km/h) and effortless 15-degree hill-climbing capability.
  • Pull-Start System and Automatic Clutch: Featuring a centrifugal automatic clutch, manual gear shifting is entirely eliminated—allowing for smooth, twist-and-go acceleration. Combined with an easy pull-start mechanism, riders can get moving instantly without any fuss.
  • Lightweight and Compact Design: Weighing a manageable 108 pounds (49 kg) with a low 25.6-inch seat height, the compact chassis is easily loaded into a car trunk, SUV, or pickup truck bed, making it the ultimate grab-and-go adventure companion.
  • Open-Frame Design for Upgrading: Built around a classic mini bike open-frame layout, the BRM200-1 is a modder’s dream. It comes with pre-routed wiring harnesses for easy DIY additions like turn signals, headlamps, and horns, while the open framework offers enough potential for performance upgrades tailored to hardcore enthusiasts.

Together, these features give recreational riders a flexible platform for building confidence, exploring trails and sharing time outdoors with family and friends.

Built for Simple Outdoor Riding

The BRM200-1 is built for recreational riding on private property, designated off-road areas and other permitted locations. Its compact size makes it easy to transport, while the low seat height and simple controls create a more approachable riding experience.

“Our BRM series is designed to give riders accessible combustion power in a compact package, with the BRM200 representing our most powerful model now,” said Steven Yang, founder and product development lead at ORYXEARTH. “Building on that lineup, the new BRM200-1 delivers straightforward off-road riding fun: pull the cord, hear the four-stroke engine come to life and let it rip!”

Riders should follow local regulations and wear appropriate protective equipment, including a helmet and suitable riding gear.

Product Availability

The ORYXEARTH BRM200-1 is available in the United States through the official ORYXEARTH website and Amazon, priced at $799 with limited-time discounts available. Product availability, shipping charges and promotional terms are determined by each platform.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As smaller kitchens and rental-friendly appliances continue to influence the way households choose products, VonWater is introducing a more space-conscious approach to home water filtration.

VonWater’s updated product-selection experience helps customers compare reverse osmosis filtration systems based on available kitchen space, plumbing preferences, water-temperature needs and daily water use.

For renters and households that do not want to modify cabinetry or plumbing, VonWater’s CT910 Series and C5 countertop systems feature removable water tanks and standard electrical connections, allowing them to be set up without permanent plumbing installation. Households seeking a built-in configuration can also compare VonWater’s under-sink filtration options.

“For a smaller kitchen, every appliance has to earn its place,” said Frank, CEO of VonWater. “Customers are not only comparing filtration specifications. They are also asking whether a product fits their counter, requires permanent installation and works with their daily routine.”

CT910 Series: Flexible Countertop Filtration for Everyday Use

The VonWater CT910 Series is designed for households looking for a space-conscious, plug-and-use RO system. Its approximately 13.4-by-8.2-inch countertop footprint helps reduce the amount of surface space required, while a removable 41oz purified-water pitcher allows filtered water to be carried to the dining table, home office or refrigerator.

The series uses a 7 stage reverse osmosis filtration process and provides real-time TDS and filter-life information through its display. 5 selectable dispensing volumes help users fill different cups, bottles and cooking containers with less guesswork.

Customers can select the CT910 configuration that best matches their needs. The standard CT910 provides room-temperature purified water, while selected CT910 Series models add instant-hot dispensing for tea, coffee and other hot-water needs.

C5: Cold, Room-Temperature and Instant-Hot Water in One System

For households that want more temperature flexibility from a single countertop appliance, the VonWater C5 combines reverse osmosis filtration, integrated cooling and instant heating.

The C5 provides 6 quick temperature presets ranging from 59°F to 203°F, supporting uses such as chilled drinking water, room-temperature hydration, infant-formula preparation, tea and coffee. Its Favorite Mode allows users to save frequently used temperature and dispensing settings.

The C5 also offers different volume selections, helping users dispense an appropriate amount for a drinking glass, travel bottle, kettle or cooking task. A removable 41oz purified-water pitcher makes it easier to serve or refrigerate filtered water away from the appliance.

“The CT910 Series gives customers a streamlined choice between room-temperature and instant-hot configurations, while the C5 adds integrated cooling and more personalized dispensing controls,” said Frank. “The goal is to help each household select the functions it will actually use without overlooking space, installation or maintenance requirements.”

The VonWater selection experience guides customers through several practical questions:

– Is permanent plumbing installation available?
– Is ambient purified water sufficient, or are selectable hot-water temperatures preferred?
– How much counter or cabinet space is available?
– How much filtered water is normally used for drinking and cooking?
– What filter and maintenance requirements should be expected?

When comparing the CT910 Series and C5, customers can review filtration configuration, dimensions, water-tank capacity, temperature options, dispensing controls and compatible replacement filters.

“A product photo alone does not tell a customer whether an appliance will work in a real kitchen,” said Frank. “Clear dimensions, installation requirements, temperature capabilities and maintenance expectations are essential parts of the buying experience.”

The VinFast VF 3 is the Philippines’ best-selling BEV, underscoring its strong consumer appeal and helping accelerate the transition to greener mobility.

Dubbed as the “Tiny Titan,” the VF 3 asserted its popularity among first-time Filipino EV owners looking for compact and practical vehicles. Already gaining strong traction before recent oil price hikes, the VF 3 saw demand surge during the global energy uncertainty as volatile domestic fuel prices pushed Filipino motorists towards cost-efficient mobility options.

Beyond the impressive specifications of the VF 3, the model’s market dominance is credited to VinFast’s comprehensive Ownership System that helps address key barriers to EV adoption. The number one BEV brand’s first-of-its-kind initiatives such as the Battery Subscription Policy, which lowers upfront costs, and the Residual Value Guarantee Program, which protects long-term asset value, continue to appeal to Filipinos looking for practical mobility solutions. Coupled with its free charging program until March 31, 2029, the brand’s expanding charging networks in the country builds a strong total cost of ownership case for VF 3, attracting Filipinos to make the EV shift amidst fuel price volatility.

Mr. Antonio “Toti” Zara III, CEO of VinFast Philippines, said: “We are deeply grateful and incredibly proud of the warm reception that VF 3 received in the Philippines. Achieving the number one spot is a milestone that demonstrates Filipino drivers’ readiness to embrace electric mobility when backed by an ecosystem that supports their entire journey. The incredible reception of the VF 3 proves that eliminating traditional barriers through our comprehensive Ownership System makes going electric a seamless, practical choice. But the Tiny Titan leading the charts is only the beginning of our mission in the country, as we vow to continuously expand and evolve this ecosystem to ensure sustainable EV ownership remains accessible, effortless, and dependable for every Filipino motorist.”

The VF 3’s success in the Philippine market reflects consumer reception and the model’s suitability for local mobility needs. To continue meeting consumer needs and enhancing the ownership experience, VinFast is steadily expanding its vehicle lineup and further developing its comprehensive Ownership System – encompassing growing dealership networks across the Philippines, the Battery Subscription and the Residual Value Guarantee programs, the V-Green network, and dedicated aftersales support. VinFast continues to remove barriers to EV ownership and make electric driving a practical, seamless choice for Filipinos.

VinFast is expected to sustain this momentum by continuing to expand its charging network and dealership footprint across the country. To experience the country’s best-selling electric mini-SUV firsthand, customers are invited to book a test drive or visit any authorized VinFast dealership nationwide.

Acquires 20 wearable data collection systems to capture real-world housekeeping tasks to support robot learning and development.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — YYForce Inc. (NASDAQ: YFOR) (“YYForce” or the “Company”), a technology-enabled provider of workforce solutions, integrated facility management and commercial robotics services, today announced the acquisition of 20 wearable data collection systems to support its humanoid robotics development program.

The systems, comprising head-mounted egocentric cameras and synchronized wrist-mounted cameras, are intended to capture first-person views and close-up recordings of human task execution. YYForce plans to deploy the equipment through an initiative with the housekeeping team at Novotel Singapore on Stevens, focusing initially on selected hospitality workflows.

The initiative is designed to build a task-specific dataset documenting how experienced housekeeping personnel perform routine service activities. Following review, annotation and technical processing, the demonstrations are intended to support robot learning research, task development and evaluation, including work involving vision-language-action (VLA) models.

Initial Focus: Housekeeping Demonstrations

Planned data collection will focus on selected tasks, including:

  • Bed and linen preparation: Bed-making sequences, linen handling and pillow arrangement.
  • Towel and amenity organization: Towel folding, placement and replenishment of guest-room supplies.
  • Selected cleaning activities: Surface wiping and handling of cleaning tools and materials.

These demonstrations are intended to capture task sequences, hand-object interactions and variations in real operating environments. Translating human demonstrations into robot capabilities will require additional processing, adaptation to the selected robotic hardware, and controlled testing.

“Access to real operating environments and experienced service teams is an important part of our robotics development strategy,” said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YYForce. “This initiative will help us document how housekeeping tasks are performed in practice and assess how those demonstrations can support humanoid robot learning. Our focus is on building useful datasets, validating individual tasks and progressing toward practical applications in hospitality and facility services.”

Supporting YYForce’s Workforce and Robotics Strategy

The initiative supports YYForce’s broader strategy of combining workforce expertise, facility management operations and robotics to develop technology-enabled service delivery.

The planned development process includes reviewing recordings for quality, annotating selected tasks, preparing suitable training datasets and evaluating whether the demonstrations improve performance on defined robotic tasks. Initial evaluation will focus on task completion, repeatability and safe execution under controlled conditions.

Data collection is planned to follow agreed hotel operating procedures and applicable data protection requirements. The Company expects that collection arrangements will address participant notification and consent where required, guest privacy, access controls and permitted uses of recorded material before recording begins.

The initiative is a development-stage program. The acquisition of the systems and collection of demonstrations do not, by themselves, establish autonomous humanoid capabilities or readiness for commercial deployment.
