Sometimes an idea is so elegant that it really deserves to work. One such proposal is Elizabeth Muller’s brainwave to build a reactor at the bottom of a mile-deep shaft drilled into Earth’s crust, and then fill the shaft with water. This would, in one fell swoop, minimise the risk of radioactive leaks, dispose of the “hot” waste reactors generate and eliminate much of the paraphernalia that make them expensive to build and run.

Deep Fission, an American startup, has unveiled a groundbreaking approach to nuclear energy by proposing the installation of miniature reactors at the bottom of deep boreholes, promising a safer and more cost-effective power solution.

In this episode of Rullion Reflections, we sit down with Liz Muller, CEO and co-founder of Deep Fission, to explore how bold thinking and new technology are transforming one of nuclear energy’s biggest challenges: waste disposal.

Deep Fission is a company that is reimagining nuclear power with a bold new approach: placing small modular reactors (SMRs) a mile underground for cheaper, faster, and more scalable deployment. Pulse 2.0 interviewed Deep Fission founder and CEO Elizabeth Muller to learn more about the company.

Liz Muller had the opportunity to speak with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business about the federal actions and Deep Fission’s long-term vision. 

A Berkeley entrepreneur is drilling down — literally — into the complex problems facing the tech industry's desire for nuclear energy to power artificial intelligence.

A new nuclear energy technique could soon be running massive data centers that power today's digital lives with zero carbon emissions and barely a trace on the Earth's surface. Nuclear energy company Deep Fission and Endeavour, an organization focused on sustainable infrastructure, have partnered for the task.
