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.

An integral transport equation-based industrial radiography simulation code is parallelized using the Message Passing Interface standard on computers with both distributed- and shared-memory architectures. The algorithm involves partitioning of the problem domain into regions that are connected to each other through interface conditions. This results in a simultaneous set of integral transport equations. Each equation in the set is assigned to a different processor in the platform. The new algorithm is subjected to scalability tests in both cluster and shared-memory architectures for a varying number of processors with different problem domain partition strategies. The results show a high level of scalability with favorable results in both architectures.
