Deep Isolation Nuclear is ready to work with states on the Department of Energy's new Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus initiative, the company said Tuesday.
The DOE effort creates voluntary partnerships with states interested in building regional campuses that cover the full nuclear fuel cycle, from fuel fabrication and enrichment through reprocessing and waste disposal. The goal is to modernize the nation's nuclear strategy and strengthen domestic energy security as advanced reactors come online.
Deep Isolation's patented deep borehole disposal technology fits the campus model because it is modular and adaptable to many geologic settings, the company said. The system can handle used fuel from light-water reactors, advanced reactor designs, and the highly radioactive residues left after recycling. Disposal capacity can be built in phases, letting states incorporate a permanent waste solution into their broader nuclear plans from the start.
“The Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus initiative is a game-changing opportunity to secure America's nuclear energy future,” said Rod Baltzer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Deep Isolation. “As new reactors are deployed and domestic nuclear capabilities expand, it is imperative to also deliver safe, secure and permanent disposal of used nuclear fuel and other radioactive waste.”
Deep Isolation has over 100 patents issued. Its Universal Canister System was developed through a three-year DOE Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy grant and is designed for integrated management of spent fuel and high-level waste across storage, transportation, and disposal. In January, Deep Isolation launched a full-scale, at-depth Commercialization Pilot in Cameron, Texas, in partnership with the Deep Borehole Demonstration Center, Halliburton (NYSE: HAL), Amentum (NYSE: AMTM), NAC International, and Occlusion Nuclear Solutions.
The company has an Alpha Score of 48 out of 100 from AlphaScala, a mixed reading in the energy sector.
Communities and states considering a role in the nuclear fuel cycle should have confidence that waste disposal can be addressed safely, Baltzer said. Deep Isolation will support interested states as they build economic opportunity and strengthen energy security, he added.
