Could the state of Kansas start expanding on nuclear energy? TerraPower Co-founded by Bill Gates, and Deep Fission are two companies trying to bring nuclear energy to the state.

A company with plans to construct small, nuclear reactors 1 mile underground for data centers and other electricity-hungry industries plans to put its first reactors in Kansas, Texas and Utah. Deep Fission, a Berkeley, California company, announced its plans saying its technology will be able to meet the “explosive demand for power from artificial intelligence” and signed letters of intent with undisclosed partners in each of those states.

Deep Fission, an advanced nuclear energy company, has signed Letters of Intent (LOI) with data centers, co-developers, industrial parks, and strategic partners, totaling 12.5GW of potential capacity.

Energy firm Deep Fission is aiming to provide 12.5 gigawatts of power for data centers. Amid a deluge of nuclear power investments, CEO and co-founder Liz Muller says “froth” will fade fast as costs and timelines clarify. She spoke with Scarlet Fu on "Bloomberg Markets".

California nuclear energy startup Deep Fission Inc. has signed nonbinding deals with customers, including data center operators, for 12.5 gigawatts of power. That’s the equivalent of more than 12 traditional reactors.

At the 30th annual EnerCom Denver conference, we interviewed Deep Fission CEO Liz Muller. Deep Fission is harnessing three technologies—pressurized water reactor technology, drilling, and geothermal—to solve the nuclear waste problem by storing nuclear waste in a borehole one mile underground. They expect to be able to lower the cost of conventional nuclear power by about 80% and decrease the time from construction start to reactor operations in about six months.
