In an era where sustainable energy solutions are more crucial than ever, Deep Isolation and Deep Fission have joined forces to tackle one of the most challenging aspects of nuclear energy: waste management. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, these companies aim to transform the way we handle spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. Their collaboration marks a significant milestone in the nuclear energy sector, setting a new standard for safety and efficiency. 

Deep Isolation, a leader in nuclear waste disposal technology, collaborated with the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) to successfully complete a multi-year project with the UK government, marking a major step forward in proving the feasibility and commercial readiness of deep borehole disposal solutions.

Deep Isolation and UK partners enhance nuclear waste disposal technology.

US-based Deep Isolation has completed a multi-year project with the UK Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) exploring the feasibility and commercial readiness of deep borehole disposal solutions for nuclear waste. 

US nuclear waste disposal specialist Deep Isolation has completed a project with the UK government toward proving the feasibility and commercial readiness of its deep borehole disposal solutions.

A multi-year project in collaboration with the UK Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), NAC International, Inc, and the University of Sheffield has culminated in the manufacture of a first-of-its-kind disposal canister prototype and elevated Deep Isolation’s technology readiness level.

In an interview with Dina Aletras, Elizabeth Muller of Deep Isolation discusses three important things you need to shake up your industry.

The US Trade & Development Agency USTDA has signed two grant agreements to support Bulgarian nuclear projects as part of a raft of agreements aimed at advancing Bulgaria’s infrastructure, energy, and cybersecurity capabilities. One supports a cost-shared feasibility study with US company Deep Isolation to investigate underground disposal of used fuel from Bulgaria’s NPPs. The other supports a prefeasibility study for the deployment of small modular reactor (SMR) technology.

The US Trade and Development Agency has signed two grant agreements to support Bulgaria’s nuclear ambitions: one will support a cost-shared feasibility study with US company Deep Isolation to support the safe underground disposal of used fuel from Bulgaria’s nuclear power plants, while the other will support a prefeasibility study for the deployment of small modular reactor technology.
