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).

Deep Isolation’s Universal Canister System is engineered to contain various types of spent fuel and high-level radioactive waste.

The demonstration aims to build stakeholder confidence and advance the commercialisation of a permanent nuclear waste solution.

Deep Isolation launched a multi-year full-scale demonstration program this week for its nuclear waste disposal technology. A groundbreaking ceremony was held Jan. 28 at the Deep Borehole Demonstration, located at the Haliburton Drilling Technology Facility near Cameron, Texas. Deep Isolation said stakeholders across the nuclear industry, Texas state officials and Department of Energy representatives attended.

Deep Isolation completed a two-year research initiative regarding its nuclear disposal methods.

US-based nuclear waste disposal technology company Deep Isolation announced the completion of Project SAVANT, an effort aimed at advancing deep borehole disposal for nuclear waste. Positioning deep boreholes as a viable alternative for nuclear waste disposal, Deep Isolation has become the first company to actively develop and test this approach. The company has launched a ...

Given the avalanche of headlines we were faced with covering this cycle, we wonder if any of the professionals in the nuclear industry took even a minute off over the recent holidays… Excessive amounts of good news is a phenomenal problem to have.
