Rod Baltzer, the CEO of Deep Isolation, visited the Atomic Show to discuss how Deep Isolation is revolutionizing nuclear waste disposal with a proven, science-backed approach that leverages deep borehole technology — a method that is not only widely accepted by experts but also cost-effective and scalable.
As highlighted in the conversation, our work addresses one of the last remaining barriers to nuclear energy expansion by offering a modular, distributed solution that reduces transportation challenges, political obstacles, and costs. With over a decade of innovation, our team continues to advance a practical, safe, and commercially viable path for long-term nuclear waste management.
The ANS conference is one of the largest gatherings of nuclear professionals in the country where the brightest minds engage – and inspire – leaders from across the nuclear science and technology landscape. Our CEO Rod Baltzer will be a panelist alongside government and industry leaders.
The ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit brings together energy scientists, technologists, entrepreneurs, engineers, and industry visionaries who dare to disrupt the status quo. Meet our team at booth #720.
The US Trade & Development Agency USTDA has signed two grant agreements to support Bulgarian nuclear projects as part of a raft of agreements aimed at advancing Bulgaria’s infrastructure, energy, and cybersecurity capabilities. One supports a cost-shared feasibility study with US company Deep Isolation to investigate underground disposal of used fuel from Bulgaria’s NPPs. The other supports a prefeasibility study for the deployment of small modular reactor (SMR) technology.
The US Trade and Development Agency has signed two grant agreements to support Bulgaria’s nuclear ambitions: one will support a cost-shared feasibility study with US company Deep Isolation to support the safe underground disposal of used fuel from Bulgaria’s nuclear power plants, while the other will support a prefeasibility study for the deployment of small modular reactor technology.
Bulgaria has taken a significant step towards enhancing its nuclear safety measures with the recent signing of a grant agreement between the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) and the Bulgarian government. This partnership aims to conduct a feasibility study for the safe underground disposal of spent nuclear fuel, utilizing advanced technology from the U.S.
Berkeley, CA – Deep Isolation is delighted to announce a significant milestone, as shared today by the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA). 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. The study will evaluate the use of our patented deep borehole disposal technology to provide safe, permanent disposal solutions for managing Bulgaria’s current and projected inventory of radioactive waste requiring geological disposal. Please see here for the full announcement.
