Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Standard Nuclear, Inc. (the “Company”), which include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Standard Property Holdings I, LLC, as of June 30, 2026, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025, was derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Historically, the Company has incurred significant losses from operations and negative operating cash flows. Management believes that the Company's current cash on hand, together with the net proceeds received from its IPO, completed in July 2026 (see Note 14, Subsequent Events), will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations and meet its obligations for at least the twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
Deferred Transaction Costs
Deferred Transaction Costs
Deferred Transaction costs consist of specific incremental legal, accounting and other direct third-party costs directly attributable to the Company’s IPO. Deferred transaction costs were $2.1 million as of June 30, 2026. Deferred transaction costs as of December 31, 2025 were not significant. Upon completion of the IPO in July 2026, subsequent to June 30, 2026, these deferred transaction costs were reclassified as a reduction of the gross proceeds of the offering within additional paid-in capital. See Note 14, Subsequent Events, for additional discussion.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued or Adopted
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued or Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional footnote disclosure of the details of certain income statement expense line items as well as additional disclosure about selling expenses. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied prospectively, with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its disclosures.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time or over time consistent with how it satisfies its performance obligations and transfers control to its customers.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when control of promised goods or services transfers to the customer in an amount reflecting the consideration the Company expects to receive. The Company's revenue recognition policies are consistent with those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Registration Statement, except as described below with respect to product revenue, which the Company began recognizing during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Services Revenue

The Company provides fuel development, engineering, testing, and other technical services under contracts structured as time-and-materials or fixed-price, milestone-based arrangements. These services are typically accounted for as a single performance obligation satisfied over time. The Company measures progress using a cost-to-cost input method, except for time-and-materials arrangements, for which it applies the right-to-invoice practical expedient under ASC 606-10-55-18.

Product Revenue

The Company also generates revenue from the sale of TRISO fuel and related products under contracts that represent distinct performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at the point in time at which control of the product transfers to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product to the customer, or over time as the product is produced, in accordance with the terms specified in the applicable customer contract.
A receivable is recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to receive payment based on the satisfaction of performance obligations. The Company’s unbilled contract assets are recorded when revenue has been recognized for performance obligations for which the Company does not yet have an unconditional right to payment because contractual billing conditions remain unsatisfied.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company accounts for expected credit losses on financial assets in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. The Company’s methodology for estimating expected credit losses is consistent with that described in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Registration Statement. In developing its estimate, the Company considers historical credit loss experience, the aging of receivables, customer-specific facts and circumstances, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future collectability.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, approximates the carrying amounts represented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. The Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the fair value hierarchy by reassessing the inputs used in determining fair value at the end of each reporting period.
