BERKELEY, CA – Deep Isolation, a leading innovator in nuclear waste disposal solutions, announced today that CEO Rod Baltzer appeared live on Fox Business Network’s Varney & Co. on Wednesday, June 25 at 10:40 a.m. ET. Baltzer discussed how Deep Isolation’s breakthrough technology is addressing one of nuclear energy’s most urgent and unresolved challenges: permanent waste disposal.

The segment spotlighted how Deep Isolation is delivering a long-overdue solution for the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle — offering a disposal pathway for spent nuclear fuel currently stored at reactor sites across the U.S. and globally, as well as for future waste generated by advanced reactors.

With governments accelerating nuclear deployment in pursuit of energy security and carbon neutrality, Baltzer shared how Deep Isolation is positioned to close the nuclear waste gap with a solution that is safe, scalable, and ready to deploy.

“We are at a pivotal moment for nuclear energy,” said Baltzer. “As a clean, reliable, and efficient power source, nuclear is gaining real momentum — including strong federal signals through recent executive orders. Permanent waste disposal must be part of this progress. Deep Isolation is offering a technically proven, globally scalable solution that is ready for deployment.”

Deep Isolation’s patented technology can reduce disposal costs by up to 70% compared to traditional mined repositories — while offering stronger environmental isolation and greater siting flexibility. Supported by a robust portfolio of strategic partners, the company is preparing for a full-scale demonstration project, a key step toward regulatory approval and commercial deployment worldwide.
