US Nuclear Corp has initiated discussions with drone companies that could become strategic partners for its Overhoff Technology division, according to company president Bob Goldstein. The company's new strategy focuses on becoming a major supplier for first responders protecting cities with nuclear facilities, chemical plants, natural gas power plants, or abandoned oil and gas fields.
The company has begun reaching out to its customer list of several hundred customers who have purchased Optron/TA or Overhoff products over the years. Goldstein stated that the company will help educate these customers on what is needed to safely monitor what he calls the "New Energy Future," while also protecting residents from chemical spills that can originate not only from existing facilities but from major roads, railroads, waterways, and transportation hubs passing through towns. The company plans to introduce new sales literature covering product bundling rather than offering single monitors for specific applications.
US Nuclear has also held its first meeting with Grapheton Inc., one of the company's major seed investments made several years ago alongside MIFTI. Grapheton has become a leader in the field of graphene medical products, with US Nuclear being one of its biggest investors. Goldstein noted that graphene is expected to eventually be found in every electronic device on the planet, and US Nuclear owns approximately one-third of Grapheton. The company is tracking several other companies in the graphene field, many with market capitalizations of several hundred million dollars and a few exceeding one billion dollars, though most have nominal revenues.
Goldstein emphasized that US Nuclear wants to help Grapheton in any way possible, including through new funding, to optimize value for both companies' shareholders. The company views its investment in graphene technology as strategically important as it expands beyond its traditional nuclear monitoring business into broader hazardous material detection and advanced materials applications. This dual approach of partnering with drone companies for monitoring solutions while advancing its graphene investment positions US Nuclear at the intersection of safety technology and emerging materials science.
The importance of these developments lies in addressing growing safety concerns around hazardous facilities and transportation corridors while positioning the company in the rapidly evolving graphene technology market. For industries dealing with hazardous materials and for communities near such facilities, improved monitoring capabilities could mean enhanced safety protocols and faster response times to potential incidents. Meanwhile, advancements in graphene applications could impact multiple sectors including medical devices, robotics, and electronics manufacturing. The company's strategic moves reflect broader trends toward integrated safety solutions and investment in transformative materials technology that could reshape multiple industries in coming years.
