Deep Fission raises $30M in financing
Since the Department of Energy kicked off a 10-company race with its Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program to bring test reactors on line by July 4, 2026, the industry has been waiting for new headlines proclaiming progress. Aalo Atomics broke ahead of the pack first by announcing last week that it had broken ground on its 50-MWe Aalo-X at Idaho National Laboratory.

Tritiated water is produced in tritium plants in a wide range of activity. This paper presents bipolar electrolysis, an electrochemical process that can be used for isotopic enrichment of tritiated water. After having described the principle of the process and its application to isotopic separation, we simulate the working of an operational cell considering both weakly (500 Ci/L, 1.85•1013 Bq/L) and highly active (100,000 Ci/L, 3.70•1015 Bq/L) tritiated water. In both cases the treatment leads to negligible gaseous tritium reject.
