The acquisition is supported by a fully committed bridge facility from Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, totaling $585 million in incremental term loan commitments [1]. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals and compliance with various agreements [1].
Mirion's Chairman and CEO, Tom Logan, and CFO and Medical Group President, Brian Schopfer, will discuss the acquisition on a conference call scheduled for September 24, 2025. The acquisition aims to enhance Mirion's position in the U.S. nuclear power segment, strengthen its relationships with key SMR players, and broaden the solutions offered to international nuclear customers [3].
Paragon Energy Solutions brings a strong presence in the North American nuclear market, serving 140-plus nuclear reactors around the world. The acquisition will add critical systems technology to Mirion's product portfolio, including the Reactor Protection System (RPS) technology, which is designed to automatically shut down the reactor and initiate safety protocols if hazardous conditions are detected. Paragon's RPS system, called HIPS, is the only modern RPS designed specifically to meet the unique needs of SMRs and the only new design approved by the U.S. NRC in the last decade [3].
The deal is expected to double Mirion's potential SMR-related revenue in the future and sets the company up for accelerated growth as the SMR fleet gains scale. It is estimated that U.S. SMR capacity could total 6 to 10 gigawatts by 2040, implying approximately 20 SMR reactors in process or completed by 2030 [3].
The acquisition is expected to close before the end of 2025 and is anticipated to be accretive to diluted EPS in the first full year post-close [1]. Goldman Sachs & Co.
