BERKELEY, CA – Deep Isolation, a leading innovator in nuclear waste disposal technology, announced that CEO Rod Baltzer appeared live on Bloomberg’s Open Interest on Monday, July 14, at 10:30 a.m. ET. The segment aired on Bloomberg Television and streamed online at bloomberg.com/live/us.
Open Interest is Bloomberg’s flagship morning program featuring market insights and emerging innovations in energy and sustainability. Baltzer’s appearance highlighted the growing urgency for nuclear waste disposal solutions amid expanding investment in clean energy technologies.
During the interview, Baltzer discussed Deep Isolation’s patented deep borehole disposal technology, emphasizing the importance of delivering real, permanent solutions for high-level radioactive waste.
“Nobody has ever disposed of [nuclear waste] anywhere in the world, and we have been producing nuclear power for 70 years,” said Baltzer. “We can do better, and we should do better. This is costing American taxpayers billions of dollars. We need to stop that and just do the right thing.”
He also spoke about the rising demand for clean energy, fueled by the rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence and the general progress we make every year. “The need for electricity is real,” he added. “Nuclear is a very consistent baseload, steady producer. It is something that is clean.”
Baltzer outlined Deep Isolation’s path forward, including its push for a full-scale, at depth demonstration of its disposal solution — an essential next step for regulatory acceptance and commercial deployment.
Deep Isolation’s appearance on Bloomberg underscores the company’s role as a market leader, uniquely positioned to address investor concerns in nuclear sustainability and waste management. Its approach, which utilizes proven directional drilling methods, delivers cost savings of up to 70% compared to traditional disposal methods, while significantly reducing environmental impact and enhancing safety. Deep Isolation’s participation in international initiatives, such as the WISARD project led by the Nuclear Energy Agency, highlights its commitment to developing integrated approaches to radioactive waste management for the next generation of nuclear power systems.
