The technology used by Deep Fission combines standard oil and gas borehole drilling, geothermal technology, and a pressurized water reactor (PWR).

California-based startup Deep Fission has chosen Great Plains Industrial Park in Parsons, Kansas, for its pilot project and plans to a build a full-scale commercial plant there following the test reactor demonstration.

Deep Fission, an advanced nuclear energy company that places small modular reactors one mile underground, has chosen the Great Plains Industrial Park in Parsons, Kansas, for its first pilot project. The company will break ground on Tuesday, December 9, and plans to complete construction and start up the reactor by July 4, 2026, if the Department of Energy (DOE) approves the next steps.

Deep Fission, a company that makes small advanced nuclear reactors, has chosen a location in Parsons, Kansas, to build a test version of its new underground reactor. This is part of a U.S. government program to speed up new nuclear technology. This installation will be Deep Fission's first demonstration of the Gravity Nuclear Reactor.

A groundbreaking ceremony is set for next week on an underground nuclear reactor in southeast Kansas, officials said. Deep Fission Inc., based in Berkeley, California, announced Thursday that it has selected the Great Plains Industrial Park in Parsons as the site of its advanced reactor pilot project.

A California company has picked Kansas as the site for pioneering a novel nuclear reactor that will be built underground in southeast Kansas and is emblematic of a new generation of nuclear power that's intended to be safer and less expensive to build.

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.

A California company developing nuclear power technology has secured nonbinding agreements to deliver 12.5 gigawatts of electricity, which would match what more than 12 standard nuclear reactors produce, Bloomberg reported.

Atomic energy is back, thanks to the ravenous demands of AI, favoritism from Trump, and the zeal of young entrepreneurs raising billions to build mini-reactors. The upside is unlimited.
