Nuclear waste disposal is often seen as a political hurdle, but what if technology could revolutionize how we think about nuclear waste products? Rod Baltzer of Deep Isolation reveals how advanced directional drilling techniques—refined over decades by the oil & gas industry—offer a modular, cost-effective solution to safely bury spent nuclear fuel deep underground. This innovation could reshape spent fuel management and significantly improve the capital efficiency of nuclear waste disposal. Join host Brennan Moore as he and Rod also explore the financial and investment landscape shaping this vital aspect of the nuclear fuel cycle.
The ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit, where energy leaders gain early access to groundbreaking energy technologies, define new areas of scientific research, and drive the development of affordable, reliable, secure American-made energy for all. The Summit attracts a collaborative community of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs from around the world who have the knowledge and passion to drive American innovation.

Deep Isolation has launched a major multi-year demonstration program aimed at changing how nuclear waste is managed and safely isolated for the long term. The initiative focuses on proving the effectiveness of deep borehole disposal, a method designed to place nuclear waste far underground in stable rock formations, away from people and the environment.
Nuclear waste technology company Deep Isolation Nuclear has launched a multiyear demonstration program of its deep borehole technology for disposing of nuclear waste. The full-scale, at-depth deep borehole demonstration program is being done in collaboration with Halliburton, Amentum, NAC International, and Occlusion Nuclear Solutions, along with the Deep Borehole Demonstration Center (DBDC).
Deep Isolation launched a multi-year full-scale demonstration program this week for its nuclear waste disposal technology. A groundbreaking ceremony was held Jan. 28 at the Deep Borehole Demonstration, located at the Haliburton Drilling Technology Facility near Cameron, Texas. Deep Isolation said stakeholders across the nuclear industry, Texas state officials and Department of Energy representatives attended.
