Show Notes
Deep Fission unveils plans for a one-mile deep underground nuclear reactor in Labette County, Kansas. The project, which began last November, involves drilling test wells to gather data on geology, water flow, and heat. While some residents express concerns about risks and contamination, others see economic benefits. The companys CEO emphasizes the importance of community feedback and has held open chats to address questions. The project is supported by lawmakers from both parties and Governor Laura Kelly, and is part of a federal pilot for new nuclear technology. Deep Fission is partnering with Evergy for power sales, despite state rules.
