Deep Fission raises $30M in financing
Since the Department of Energy kicked off a 10-company race with its Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program to bring test reactors on line by July 4, 2026, the industry has been waiting for new headlines proclaiming progress. Aalo Atomics broke ahead of the pack first by announcing last week that it had broken ground on its 50-MWe Aalo-X at Idaho National Laboratory.

The method of singular eigenfunctions introduced first by Van Kampen and developed later by Case and Mika in connection with a one-velocity transport problem, has been adapted in order to solve the time and energy dependent infinite medium problem. The expansion of neutron density and scattering kernel in series of Hermite functions reduces the Boltzmann equation to a system of homogeneous Hnear equations. The resulting set of regular and singular eigenfunctions is shown to be complete (if w∑nonelastic is assumed to increase monotonically with the neutron velocity w) and explicit formulas are found for the normalization integrals and Green's function.
