Deep Isolation and UK partners enhance nuclear waste disposal technology.

Deep Isolation, a leader in nuclear waste disposal technology, has completed 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.

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.

Bulgaria has taken a significant step towards enhancing its nuclear safety measures with the recent signing of a grant agreement between the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) and the Bulgarian government. This partnership aims to conduct a feasibility study for the safe underground disposal of spent nuclear fuel, utilizing advanced technology from the U.S.

The US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) has signed a grant agreement with the Bulgarian government and its state-owned energy holding to support nuclear energy and safety projects in the Balkan country.
