Atomic Show – Episode #327

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.

In the Energy News Beat, Conversation in Energy with Stuart Turley interviews Elizabeth Muller, Executive Chair and Co-Founder, about the future of nuclear power and the challenges surrounding nuclear waste disposal. They explore public perception shifts, the potential for recycling nuclear waste, and regulatory barriers in the US compared to Europe. Elizabeth highlights Deep Isolation’s innovative underground disposal method and emphasizes the need for legislative changes to advance nuclear power as a key component in achieving net-zero emissions…

Liz Muller’s portion begins at 22:40. Elizabeth Muller is CEO and co-founder of Deep Isolation, who talks about her background as an environmentalist and explains why she wanted to “solve” the issue of nuclear waste disposal so that the future growth of nuclear is not held back by negative public perception of the issue. She explains the company’s deep borehole repository system and sets out likely timescales, which means there could be a disposal site up and running within the next five to ten years.
