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.

Samples of uranium, thorium, thoriated tungsten, potassium bromide, barium, and strontium were irradiated at TFTR under a ‘new tokamak applications’ initiative launched in 1997. The saturation activity data obtained from data analysis of these measurements is reported. This new addition to the vast experimental database from mixed D-T and D-D neutron irraditions at TFTR offers an invaluable resource for benchmarking of calculations in relation to the design and regulatory licensing of fusion reactors designed specifically around applications like transmutation of actinide and fission product waste, radioisotope production for medical and industrial applications.
