Reduce the risk and liability of your growing spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste inventories with Deep Isolation nuclear waste solutions. Our three-step plan provides steady progress and is adaptable to specific location factors.

Nuclear Waste Solution Life Cycle

Step 1: Nuclear Waste Feasibility Assessment

This complete report delivers an IAEA-compliant evidential base with a fully costed business case. We conduct a comprehensive feasibility assessment that includes:

  • Initial analysis to investigate suitable locations
  • A delivery roadmap that considers regulatory requirements
  • A map of the stakeholder environment
Step 2: Nuclear Waste Operational Readiness

This stage demonstrates a working solution with community engagement, site characterization, and a test drillhole. Cold operations review for fuel transfer, placement, retrievability and safety procedures can also be completed with our technology partners and local providers.

Step 3: Nuclear Waste Disposal Repository

As the final step, the deep drillhole repository is operationalized including fuel assembly transfer into custom-fit canisters, and emplacement. This includes:

  • Regulatory compliance
  • Continued stakeholder engagement
  • Repository monitoring
  • Material handling activities
  • Retrieval procedures

The first step to isolate your nuclear waste inventory is with our Foundation Study. Contact us to see how our solution would work for your needs.
