With a new generation of reactor technologies on the cusp of commercial deployment a new regulatory-ready, globally deployable canister solution is essential to keep pace. 

The U.S. nuclear industry is gearing up for a major shift in how it handles radioactive waste, introducing a new strategy aimed at finally breaking decades of policy and regulatory stalemate. The U.S. Nuclear Industry Council (USNIC) has rolled out an Action Plan designed to modernize the sector’s approach and align with broader federal goals ...

The U.S. nuclear industry carries over $40 billion in stranded liabilities from spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level waste (HLW), locked in temporary storage due to the failure of conventional disposal solutions like the Yucca Mountain repository. For decades, this unresolved problem has hindered nuclear energy’s growth, even as advanced reactors promise to decarbonize industries ...

California-based Deep Isolation has praised the U.S. Nuclear Industry Council for its plan to address nuclear waste disposal policy in the United States, including establishment of an independent body outside the Department of Energy. 

At COP28, held in Dubai in 2023, a clear consensus emerged: Nuclear energy must be a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition. With electricity demand projected to soar as we decarbonize not just power but also industry, transport, and heat, the case for new nuclear is compelling. More than 20 countries committed to tripling ...

The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) marked the official launch of the Joint Project on Waste Integration for Small and Advanced Reactor Designs (WISARD) to assess the compatibility of new spent fuels and different waste streams with current back-end solutions, and pinpoint areas requiring future innovation.

A Berkeley entrepreneur is drilling down — literally — into the complex problems facing the tech industry’s desire for nuclear energy to power artificial intelligence.

Are you ready for $10 energy bills? Imagine a nuclear reactor the size of a shipping container quietly powering your local hospital. It pumps out energy that’s cleaner than natural gas, more reliable than solar, and safer than any other energy source.

A new collaboration between Deep Isolation and Kairos Power has delivered promising results in the challenge of managing nuclear waste from advanced reactors. 

Working with advanced reactor company Kairos Power, nuclear waste disposal technology company Deep Isolation has demonstrated the feasibility and potential commercial readiness of its system for managing used TRISO nuclear fuel.
