[This article is behind a pay wall] The United States has a problem with its nuclear waste: it keeps building up and the government doesn’t know where to put it longterm.

[This article was translated from Bulgarian] The process is inexpensive and allows the efficient and sustainable solution of the problem of SNF and RAW storage

Modular horizontal borehole repository could cut disposal costs in half compared to mined solution.

Deep Isolation and NAC International are to cooperate in the design, development, and manufacturing of Deep Isolation’s disposal canister technology.

Jim Voss appeared on ABC News Radio across the north and west of South Australia during his time down under. “Deep Isolation drills vertical holes roughly one kilometer deep and then drills horizontally to store the waste.”

“Taxpayers bleed billions while federal government mulls what to do with millions of pounds of radioactive spent fuel. Among geologists, there are givens: Humans don’t build things that last a million years. And only the bowels of Earth itself can be trusted to swallow — forever — the radioactive nuclear waste that humans have created.”

Jack and Pauk Talk with Sam Brinton about the economics and politics of nuclear waste. Bedies working on nuclear issues with Deep Isolation, Brinton is also the head of advocacy and government affairs at the Trevor Project where they advance policies to help LGBTQ youth in crisis.

Today’s guest is Dr. Richard Muller, who is the current CTO of Deep Isolation, a company which aims to solve the nuclear waste issue. He is a professor Emeritus of Physics at UC Berkeley. 

“This is secure, safe and backed by sound science,” Chief Operating Officer Rod Baltzer said Wednesday at a RadWaste Summit panel in Henderson. “We do think it’s time to consider alternatives,” he told conference attendees. “This is a problem that just keeps growing.”
