Deep Fission
Founders
Deep Fission is revolutionizing nuclear energy by developing small modular pressurized water reactors installed in boreholes one mile underground. The company's proprietary Gravity Nuclear Reactor combines proven pressurized water reactor technology with deep borehole drilling from oil and gas industries and geothermal heat transfer techniques. By leveraging natural geology for passive safety and containment, Deep Fission eliminates the need for expensive surface containment structures, reducing costs by up to 80% and shortening construction timelines to approximately six months. The company is participating in the Department of Energy's Reactor Pilot Program with a goal of achieving first criticality by July 2026.
