Nuclear Waste Innovator Deep Isolation Demonstrates Safe, Cost-Effective Disposal Pathway for Waste From Recycled Fuel
Deep Isolation reported results from a three-year, Department of Energy-funded study showing deep borehole disposal could provide a safe and cost-effective pathway for waste from recycled nuclear fuel. Every disposal scenario analyzed was projected to cost less than the program's target of 0.1 cent per kilowatt-hour, with projected public radiation doses in most scenarios orders of magnitude below the 10 millirem-per-year regulatory benchmark.
