Deep Isolation at #WMSym
Deep Isolation will present its latest research in three sessions at Waste Management Symposia 2022, taking place March 6-10 in Phoenix.
On March 7 Deep Isolation Director of Systems Engineering Dr. Ethan Bates and Chris Parker, Director of Deep Isolation EMEA Ltd., will present during the session "Developments in Deep Borehole Disposal Around the World."
Dr. Bates, an expert in reactor safety and nuclear systems integration, will present his paper "Preliminary Technology Readiness Assessment of Deep Borehole Disposal," an analysis of the readiness of Deep Isolation’s deep borehole repository operations from the storage phase through transportation, construction, and disposal.
Parker will present "Implementing Deep Borehole Disposal: Study of International Stakeholder Views from Regulatory, Policy and WMO Communities." (See article below.)
On March 9 Mark Frei will join a panel discussion, "Evolution and Development for Waste Transport and Disposal," to share the results of the paper, "Canister for Radioactive Waste Transport, Storage and Disposal in Boreholes."
Last year Deep Isolation, in partnership with NAC International, developed a preliminary design for a drillhole canister for nuclear waste storage, transportation, and deep borehole disposal. The canister is designed to contain an intact pressurized water reactor (PWR) assembly and is expected to pave the way for new options for managing the lifecycle of nuclear waste.
