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.

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.
