How Deep Isolation's Technology is Transforming Nuclear Waste Management
Description
Deep Isolation licensed its nuclear waste disposal technology, including repository systems and canister patents, to Navarro Research and Engineering. Navarro, which holds federal contracts with agencies such as the Department of Energy and NASA, will use these technologies to enhance its waste management services at sites in Idaho, Nevada, and Washington. Deep Isolation’s borehole disposal system, demonstrated in 2019, uses directional drilling for deep geologic storage of radioactive waste. In 2022, Deep Isolation received a $3.6 million DOE grant to develop a universal canister system for storage, transport, and disposal of advanced reactor waste, collaborating with NAC International, UC Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The company also signed a memorandum of understanding to license its technology to Amentum for projects in Europe and the Pacific.
