Portfolio company, Deep Isolation, launches its Full-Scale, At-Depth Demonstration Program to advance its deep borehole nuclear waste disposal technology and generate operational data to support regulatory confidence, following the completion Project UPWARDS announced in December last year.
Deep Isolation has successfully completed Project PUCK, an initiative to demonstrate the feasibility and commercial readiness of its Universal Canister System (UCS) to manage TRISO spent nuclear fuel. Deep Isolation worked with advanced reactor company Kairos Power to conceptually evaluate the use of TRISO pebble fuel, affirming the UCS as a safe, scalable solution of deep borehole disposal for next-generation reactors.
