Press Release, Nov 12, 2024
Berkeley, CA – Deep Isolation received an award from the Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction in the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation at the U.S. Department of State to provide expert advice to selected Central and Eastern European Governments on the development of integrated waste management strategies for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). The role is an integral part of the NEXT One Stop Shop (‘Nuclear Expediting the Energy Transition’) that the U.S. Department of State is establishing as part of its wider FIRST program (Foundational Infrastructure for Responsible Use of Small Modular Reactor Technology).
Spent Fuel Management is an element of the FIRST program through the NEXT One Stop Shop. Deep Isolation was selected following an open, competitive process.
Chris Parker, Managing Director of Deep Isolation’s European business, said, “Deep Isolation is proud to support the Department of State in this important initiative, and I am impressed with its pace, clarity, and urgency. In just the first week of our new contract, we have met with government leaders from three countries. They rightly put great importance on the need to develop integrated strategies for managing the nuclear waste that their SMRs will produce in their countries, and the whole team at Deep Isolation looks forward to supporting them in this.”

About the NEXT initiative
Nuclear Expediting the Energy Transition (NEXT) was announced by U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry at the Three Seas Initiative Summit in Bucharest, Romania in September 2023. NEXT is a subprogram that provides technical assistance to eligible partner countries under the U.S. Department of State’s Foundational Infrastructure for Responsible Use of Small Modular Reactor Technology (FIRST) initiative. Like other cooperation under the FIRST program, NEXT supports nuclear energy countries, as well as prospective newcomers, as they establish secure and safe civilian nuclear programs in support of their energy security and climate goals under the highest standards of nuclear safety, security, and nonproliferation. https://www.smr-first-program.net/next/
