Deep Isolation has completed additional engineering and modeling work in coordination with ARPA-E and Oklo to “enhance key technologies supporting the recycling of used nuclear fuel through electrorefining”. The study models high-level waste being disposed in Deep Isolation’s borehole system, achieving long-term safety levels surpassing model targets.

High-level waste, when disposed of in Deep Isolation’s deep borehole system, achieved long-term safety levels.

In the Optimizing Nuclear Waste and Advanced Reactor Disposal Systems (ONWARDS) project titled Enabling the Near Term Commercialization of an Electrorefining Facility to Close the Metal Fuel Cycle, Deep Isolation said the analysis “confirmed that nuclear waste streams partitioned through the Argonne-baseline electrorefining process are compatible with deep borehole disposal, demonstrating a safe and practical ...

Waste disposal technology company Deep Isolation Nuclear has claimed that results of a study it conducted with reactor developer Oklo demonstrate that deep borehole disposal could be an option for disposing of high-level radioactive waste generated from the recycling of advanced reactor fuel.

Study results show that deep borehole disposal could be a viable option for disposing of high-level radioactive waste.

US nuclear waste disposal company Deep Isolation Nuclear Inc announced that federally funded research has shown that deep borehole disposal could be a viable option for disposing of high-level radioactive waste from advanced reactor fuel recycling.

Under standard definitions, the major forms of energy considered to be renewable include solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, biomass, along with other forms like ocean energy from tides and waves. These energy sources are replenished naturally on a human timescale and are used to generate electricity, heat and biofuels. Although nuclear energy is not formally classified ...

While there was certainly phenomenal news to report on from every corner of the nuclear industry, both in the U.S. and abroad, there was an overabundance of headlines from the nuclear fuel chain, specifically on the topic of used nuclear fuel. We now have more companies looking into how best to utilize the energy stored ...

Deep Isolation has launched a major multi-year demonstration program aimed at changing how nuclear waste is managed and safely isolated for the long term. The initiative focuses on proving the effectiveness of deep borehole disposal, a method designed to place nuclear waste far underground in stable rock formations, away from people and the environment.

Nuclear waste technology company Deep Isolation Nuclear has launched a multiyear demonstration program of its deep borehole technology for disposing of nuclear waste. The full-scale, at-depth deep borehole demonstration program is being done in collaboration with Halliburton, Amentum, NAC International, and Occlusion Nuclear Solutions, along with the Deep Borehole Demonstration Center (DBDC).
