Deep Fission Inc. (Deep Fission), the pioneering nuclear energy startup revolutionizing the industry by placing reactors a mile underground, and Deep Isolation, a leader in deep borehole nuclear waste disposal solutions, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on spent fuel management for Deep Fission’s advanced underground reactors. This agreement marks a shared commitment to ensuring a comprehensive approach to the full nuclear fuel cycle.

Deep Isolation, a leader in nuclear waste disposal technology, has successfully completed a multi-year project with the UK government, marking a major step forward in proving the feasibility and commercial readiness of deep borehole disposal solutions.

Deep Isolation will participate in the ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit in Washington, D.C., an event bringing together energy industry leaders and experts to explore breakthrough technologies, shaping the future of energy innovation.

With financial support from USTDA, Bulgaria’s national waste management organization, the State Enterprise Radioactive Waste (SERAW), has engaged Deep Isolation to conduct a Feasibility Study.

Deep Isolation received an award from the Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction in the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation at the U.S. Department of State to provide expert advice to selected Central and Eastern European Governments on the development of integrated waste management strategies for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).

Deep Isolation, a leader in nuclear waste disposal solutions, successfully hosted its third technical workshop for the UPWARDS project, a project centered on the development of a Universal Canister System (UCS).

The Deep Borehole Demonstration Center (DBD Center) is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew (Andy) Griffith as its new Executive Director.

Deep Isolation has been selected as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) initiative, which funds energy and environmental projects with potential for commercialization.

Deep Isolation welcomes the initiative from ANS and other groups to request the House and Senate Appropriation Committees to provide an additional $3 million in FY 2025 for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) office to develop a new, technology-neutral, generic protection standard that reflects modern, international practices and that would apply to future high-level nuclear waste disposal facilities.

Deep Isolation welcomes the vote this week by the Estonian Parliament, the Riigikogu, in which a three-fifths majority passed a Resolution supporting the adoption of nuclear energy in Estonia.
