Yet despite improvements in the design of nuclear-fission reactors, there remain public concerns about their safety and the waste that they produce. Many have suggested that harnessing nuclear ...

Nuclear fission does not release the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. A controlled nuclear fission reaction releases one million times more energy per kg than a chemical reaction such as burning ...

Its two sources of fuel, hydrogen and lithium, are widely available in many parts of the Earth. What’s the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion? Both are nuclear processes, in that ...

California-based nuclear startup company Deep Fission, which is proposing to place microreactors deep underground, and Endeavour Energy LLC have committed to co-develop 2 GW of nuclear energy to power ...

Deep Fission, a small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) developer, has partnered with Endeavour Energy, a US sustainable infrastructure developer, to develop and deploy nuclear fission to power AI data ...

Now, a nuclear startup wants to bury a small reactor underground, using depth as a substitute for the tons of concrete required to safeguard aboveground reactors. The company, Deep Fission ...

While nuclear power plants have become ubiquitous, they all operate using nuclear fission — but one energy startup has plans to change this. Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), a spinoff branch ...
