Nucleation's portfolio company, Deep Isolation, is now a public trading entity, listed on the OTCQB Venture Market as DBHL. We are pleased to have recently announced the registration and listing to our LPs.

Now, the company, led by CEO Rod Baltzer, is focusing its full attention on completing its full-scale demonstration of its technology in Texas. Deep Isolation signed a amaster services agreement with Halliburton, through which Halliburton is providing drilling, well construction and subsurface engineering services for Deep Isolation’s first full-scale demonstration project. Other partners in the project include Westinghouse, NAC International, Occlusion Nuclear Solutions and Amentum.

While few investors are familiar with Deep Isolation Nuclear, as it is now called, Washington Post Intelligence reporter, Kathryn Clay, spoke with Deep Isolation CEO Rod Baltzer about the company’s technology, its recent Department of Energy support, the economics of deep borehole disposal and why he believes advances in drilling technology could reshape the decades-long debate over nuclear waste management. We think you'll find this interview compelling.
