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.

Silicon doped CH foams are prepared via a thermally induced phase-inversion technique. With poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) as the foam skeleton material, durene/naphthalene as the solvent/nonsolvent system, and SiO2 as the doping materials, Si doped CH polymer foams with density of 25 to 80 mg/cm3 is successfully prepared, and the mass content of Si is <30%. This paper presents the fabrication procedures of Si doped CH polymer foams. The parameters that influence the properties of the foam products are discussed in detail. The thermal stability and structure of Si doped CH foams are also discussed.
