DEEP ISOLATION

Deep Isolation CEO Rod Baltzer joined Bloomberg News to discuss how innovative nuclear waste solutions are key to unlocking the future of clean energy. “As nuclear energy expands globally, the need for safe, permanent waste solutions isn’t optional — it’s foundational.”— Rod Baltzer, CEO 🎙️ Full interview (11 min): https://lnkd.in/eyKiKG5N #NuclearEnergy #CleanTech #AdvancedReactors #EnergyTransition

Deep Isolation applauds the suite of executive orders signed by President Donald J. Trump on May 23, 2025, which prioritize revitalizing the nuclear industrial base, accelerating the deployment of advanced reactors, and advancing spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW) disposal.

Congratulations to DEEP ISOLATION for the successful completion of Project PUCK. This is a groundbreaking initiative to demonstrate the feasibility and potential commercial readiness of the company’s Universal Canister System (UCS) to manage TRi-structural ISOtropic (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.    ARPA-E’s supported Deep Isolation’s Universal Performance Criteria and Canister for Advanced Reactor Waste Form Acceptance in Borehole and Mined Repositories Considering Design Safety (#UPWARDS) project, through which the company developed its universal canister design. We spoke with Deep Isolation Executive Vice President of Engineering Jesse Sloane, P.E. about their collaboration with ARPA-E.    Jesse told us: “Our project aims to solve one of the toughest challenges in nuclear energy: what to do with the waste. We've developed a Universal Canister System that standardizes how nuclear waste is stored, transported, and permanently disposed of deep underground.    “Working on Project UPWARDS has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. Prior to joining Deep Isolation, I spent years as a consultant analyzing large-scale engineering projects that had failed — projects that suffered from unclear requirements, shifting priorities, poor communication, or uncontrolled risk. That experience taught me thousands of ways a project can go wrong, and it shaped the mindset I brought into UPWARDS: anticipate challenges, align early, and make clarity a core value. “This project has combined mission, passion, and technical challenge in a way that feels rare—and it’s been an honor to help move it forward.”   Check out photos of the Deep Isolation team below and learn more!   https://lnkd.in/dJUzTb-B
