In an interview with Ignition, Muller recounted the twists her career has taken as she’s searched for sensible, viable approaches to mitigating climate change. 

In this episode, Liz shares her vision of wanting to solve nuclear waste to help unlock the potential of nuclear power to address global warming. This is an informative and inspiring discussion about what it takes to bring a breakthrough idea into the world. 

Elizabeth Muller, CEO and Co-Founder of Deep Isolation, talks with us about the nuclear waste disposal solution that’s raised over $22 Million in funding.

Liz Muller chats with Mark Hinaman about Deep Isolation’s strategy to utilize oil and gas technologies to develop storage systems for spent nuclear fuel.

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.

Elizabeth Muller is the CEO of Deep Isolation, a Berkeley-based company that seeks to resolve America’s nuclear waste challenge by using technology borrowed from the oil and gas business. In this episode, she explains why the waste issue must be solved before the nuclear sector can have a full renaissance, why Deep Isolation must have success overseas before it succeeds here, the advantages of using boreholes instead of a mined repository (think Yucca Mountain), and why, when it comes to nuclear, “the world has shifted over the past six months.”

This is the second Atomic Show featuring Liz Muller. While reviewing some of the basics of her company and their technological solutions, this show focused more on providing an update of activities and progress made since April of 2020.
