On June 25, CEO Rod Baltzer discussed how Deep Isolation’s breakthrough technology is addressing one of nuclear energy’s most urgent and unresolved challenges: permanent waste disposal.

Deep Isolation will participate in the 2025 American Nuclear Society (ANS) Annual Meeting, taking place June 15–18 in Chicago, Illinois. The company will be represented by CEO Rod Baltzer, who will participate in a panel discussion exploring progress toward establishing a domestic nuclear waste repository program.

Deep Isolation announced its participation in the newly launched WISARD (Waste Integration for Small and Advanced Reactor Designs), a three-year international project spearheaded by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA). The initiative aims to develop integrated approaches to radioactive waste management for the next generation of nuclear power systems.

Deep Isolation applauds the suite of executive orders signed by President Donald J. Trump on May 23, 2025, which prioritize revitalizing the nuclear industrial base, accelerating the deployment of advanced reactors, and advancing spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW) disposal.

CEO Rod Baltzer appeared on Bloomberg May 23 to discuss Deep Isolation’s technology and why it matters amid rising interest in nuclear energy.

Deep Isolation, a leading innovator in nuclear waste disposal technology, has successfully completed Project PUCK, a groundbreaking, government-funded initiative to demonstrate the feasibility and potential commercial readiness of its Universal Canister System (UCS) to manage TRISO spent nuclear fuel.

Deep Isolation, a leader in deep borehole nuclear waste disposal solutions, and Deep Fission Inc. (Deep Fission), the pioneering nuclear energy startup revolutionizing the industry by placing reactors a mile underground, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on spent fuel management for Deep Fission’s advanced underground reactors. This agreement marks a shared commitment to ensuring a comprehensive approach to the full nuclear fuel cycle.

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

Deep Isolation will participate in the ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit in Washington, D.C., an event bringing together energy industry leaders and experts to explore breakthrough technologies, shaping the future of energy innovation.

With financial support from USTDA, Bulgaria’s national waste management organization, the State Enterprise Radioactive Waste (SERAW), has engaged Deep Isolation to conduct a Feasibility Study.
