Building on Established Regulatory Foundations
Our licensing approach is built on existing regulatory policies that have underpinned regulatory modernization since 1999. We expect new, modern regulations to significantly reduce licensing risk. By working with the NRC to develop and exercise those frameworks, we focus our efforts on meeting safety objectives. Our approach lowers uncertainty for stakeholders and transforms a challenging bureaucracy.
Ensuring Safety in Our Communities
Deep Fission is actively engaged with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and other stakeholders to license the construction and safe operation of our reactor.
