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.

Cross sections for the 17O(n,p)17N (T1/2 = 4.7 s) reaction in the energy region between 13.7 and 14.9 were measured by the activation method using the Fusion Neutronics Source (FNS) at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. Cross sections for the reaction obtained were 23 ± 5, 11 ± 4, and <7 mb at 14.9 ± 0.1, 14.4 ± 0.1, and 13.7 ± 0.1 MeV, respectively. This work uniquely gives the experimental partial excitation function for the ~14-MeV reaction.
