BERKELEY, CA – Deep Isolation, a leading innovator in nuclear waste disposal technology, announced that CEO Rod Baltzer appeared live on Bloomberg’s Open Interest on Monday, July 14, at 10:30 a.m. ET. The segment aired on Bloomberg Television and streamed online at bloomberg.com/live/us.

Open Interest is Bloomberg’s flagship morning program featuring market insights and emerging innovations in energy and sustainability. Baltzer’s appearance highlighted the growing urgency for nuclear waste disposal solutions amid expanding investment in clean energy technologies.

During the interview, Baltzer discussed Deep Isolation’s patented deep borehole disposal technology, emphasizing the importance of delivering real, permanent solutions for high-level radioactive waste.

“Nobody has ever disposed of [nuclear waste] anywhere in the world, and we have been producing nuclear power for 70 years,” said Baltzer. “We can do better, and we should do better. This is costing American taxpayers billions of dollars. We need to stop that and just do the right thing.”

He also spoke about the rising demand for clean energy, fueled by the rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence and the general progress we make every year. “The need for electricity is real,” he added. “Nuclear is a very consistent baseload, steady producer. It is something that is clean.”

Baltzer outlined Deep Isolation’s path forward, including its push for a full-scale, at depth demonstration of its disposal solution — an essential next step for regulatory acceptance and commercial deployment.

Deep Isolation’s appearance on Bloomberg underscores the company’s role as a market leader, uniquely positioned to address investor concerns in nuclear sustainability and waste management. Its approach, which utilizes proven directional drilling methods, delivers cost savings of up to 70% compared to traditional disposal methods, while significantly reducing environmental impact and enhancing safety. Deep Isolation’s participation in international initiatives, such as the WISARD project led by the Nuclear Energy Agency, highlights its commitment to developing integrated approaches to radioactive waste management for the next generation of nuclear power systems.

BERKELEY, CA – Deep Isolation, a leading innovator in nuclear waste disposal solutions, announced today that CEO Rod Baltzer appeared live on Fox Business Network’s Varney & Co. on Wednesday, June 25 at 10:40 a.m. ET. Baltzer discussed how Deep Isolation’s breakthrough technology is addressing one of nuclear energy’s most urgent and unresolved challenges: permanent waste disposal.

The segment spotlighted how Deep Isolation is delivering a long-overdue solution for the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle — offering a disposal pathway for spent nuclear fuel currently stored at reactor sites across the U.S. and globally, as well as for future waste generated by advanced reactors.

With governments accelerating nuclear deployment in pursuit of energy security and carbon neutrality, Baltzer shared how Deep Isolation is positioned to close the nuclear waste gap with a solution that is safe, scalable, and ready to deploy.

“We are at a pivotal moment for nuclear energy,” said Baltzer. “As a clean, reliable, and efficient power source, nuclear is gaining real momentum — including strong federal signals through recent executive orders. Permanent waste disposal must be part of this progress. Deep Isolation is offering a technically proven, globally scalable solution that is ready for deployment.”

Deep Isolation’s patented technology can reduce disposal costs by up to 70% compared to traditional mined repositories — while offering stronger environmental isolation and greater siting flexibility. Supported by a robust portfolio of strategic partners, the company is preparing for a full-scale demonstration project, a key step toward regulatory approval and commercial deployment worldwide.
