Officials in Kansas have broken ground on a nuclear energy project that could redefine how atomic power plants are built and operated. According to KCUR, startup Deep Fission has begun preparations to install a small nuclear reactor nearly a mile underground in the town of Parsons, marking a first-of-its-kind approach to commercial nuclear power in the United States.

Construction on a revolutionary new kind of nuclear power plant is underway in Kansas. According to KCUR, an NPR affiliate, startup Deep Fission plans to install a small nuclear reactor a mile underground in the town of Parsons. The mini nuclear plant will be located at the Great Plains Industrial Park — the former site of the Kansas Army Ammunition Plant. It aims to attract data centers and other energy-intensive industries.

Deep Fission says it plans to install a nuclear reactor underground at an industrial park in southeast Kansas. State and local government leaders are on board. It's part of a national push for new nuclear energy generation.

Deep Fission is seeking to power the AI revolution through nuclear energy. The company’s CEO, Liz Muller, joins CNBC to discuss how their technology is reducing the cost of nuclear energy and scaling the build-out time to just 6 months.

Last week, Deep Fission broke ground on a pilot program to bury small modular reactors underground in Parsons, Kansas. This project is the first of its kind in the United States, and comes as part of the Trump Administration’s effort to advance the nation’s nuclear power.
