Deep Isolation completed a two-year research initiative regarding its nuclear disposal methods.

US-based nuclear waste disposal technology company Deep Isolation announced the completion of Project SAVANT, an effort aimed at advancing deep borehole disposal for nuclear waste. Positioning deep boreholes as a viable alternative for nuclear waste disposal, Deep Isolation has become the first company to actively develop and test this approach. The company has launched a ...

US-based nuclear waste storage and disposal company Deep Isolation has completed its Project SAVANT (Sequential Advancement of Technology for Deep Borehole Disposal), a two-year research initiative funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E). The technology will now be prepared for a demonstration of full-scale disposal.

Deep Isolation has recently completed a two-year research demonstration project that was funded by the Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy. Through Project Sequential Advancement of Technology for Deep Borehole Disposal (Project SAVANT), Deep Isolation found that its Universal Center System and borehole casing materials can properly resist corrosion to store spent nuclear fuel, according to ...

US nuclear waste disposal company Deep Isolation says that a two-year research project that subjected its Universal Canister System to the kinds of conditions found thousands of feet below the surface has shown materials used in its fabrication perform reliably and remain resistant to corrosion over time.

As the energy industry looks to step up co-location of data centers and power sources, a company developing a new nuclear waste disposal technology is hoping to do the same thing.

Following its establishment in April 2025, the NEA project on Waste Integration for Small and Advanced Reactor Designs (WISARD) held its first technical workshop in Washington, DC, on 4-6 November 2025. The workshop was hosted by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), one of the WISARD signatory organisations, and included an open session dedicated to discussions ...

The ARPA‑E‑funded project involved testing a universal canister for advanced reactor used fuel and high‑level waste in multiple repository types.

Deep Isolation said Wednesday it has completed a three-year-long Department of Energy-funded project that advances the company’s Universal Canister System technology for nuclear waste disposal.

Project UPWARDS has culminated in the manufacture, physical testing and validation of a disposal-ready Universal Canister System for used nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste from advanced reactors.
