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.

Dynamics of light impurities at multimirror trap GOL-3 was studied using imaging spectroscopy diagnostics in VUV and visible spectral range. The results of impurity balance and transport simulation as well as comparison with measurements are presented in this paper. Concentration of impurities in plasma and diffusion coefficient are found out from the measurements. Suitability using VUV and XUV spectroscopy for measuring main plasma parameters is considered.
