Startup Applies Oil Drilling Techniques to Nuclear Waste Disposal
Original: Big Oil Perfected Sideways Drilling. A Startup Wants to Do the Same With Nuclear Waste
A startup is proposing to use horizontal drilling methods, refined over decades by the oil and gas industry, to bury nuclear waste deep underground. The approach adapts directional drilling technology to carve disposal tunnels in rock formations, offering a potential solution to the long-standing problem of where to store spent nuclear fuel. It draws attention to how techniques from one energy sector could help another manage its environmental legacy.
Why now: Interest in new solutions for nuclear waste storage as nuclear power expands and deep geological disposal remains unsolved in most countries
