Deep Fission to break ground this week
With about seven months left in the race to bring DOE-authorized test reactors on line by July 4, 2026, via the Reactor Pilot Program, Deep Fission has announced that it will break ground on its associated project on December 9 in Parsons, Kansas. It’s one of many companies in the program that has made significant headway in recent months.

Cable-in-conduit superconductors are considered as a conductor for future helical devices. A cable-in-conduit superconductor consists of multi-strand cable and conduit. The stability of multi-strand superconducting cable is investigated in consideration of the current redistribution between strands. We studied basically the current redistribution phenomena in two-strand cable by experiment, and have developed the numerical method to simulate the current redistribution phenomena of the cable. As a result of a numerical analysis, it was found that the current redistribution phenomena depend on coolant conditions. In this paper, effects of the coolant condition on the current redistribution phenomena and the stability of the superconducting cable will be discussed.
