Appointment Strengthens Momentum Toward Deployment of Mile-Deep Nuclear Power – BERKELEY, Calif., March 27, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Deep Fission Inc. (Deep Fission), a pioneering nuclear energy ...

Scientists gained shocking proof of natural nuclear fission when they made this discovery. Researchers found the Oklo natural nuclear reactor inside the Oklo region of Gabon, which lies in West Africa ...

Normally, natural uranium has 0.72% of the uranium-235 (U-235) isotope, which is sought in the nuclear fission process. However, the Oklo samples possessed a slightly lower isotopic concentration, ...

Given the considerable scientific, engineering, and commercial hurdles facing nuclear fusion, fission seems to offer a more promising nuclear solution to the world’s burgeoning power needs.

Nuclear fission reactors act as a key power source for many parts of the world and worldwide power capacity is expected to nearly double by 2050. One issue, however, is the difficulty of ...
