en.Wedoany.com Reported - Deep Fission, a U.S. advanced nuclear energy company, plans to participate in the "Golden Age of Nuclear Power" event on June 25 in Idaho Falls, Idaho, at the Idaho National Laboratory's Materials and Fuels Complex. This event, coinciding with the period surrounding the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, will highlight the latest progress in the U.S. nuclear energy revival and the role of next-generation nuclear technology in providing reliable, around-the-clock electricity supply.

Deep Fission is one of 10 companies selected for the U.S. Department of Energy's Reactor Pilot Program. Established under Executive Order 14301, this program is seen as a significant shift in U.S. federal nuclear energy policy, enabling reactor testing and deployment to advance at sites beyond national laboratories.

Liz Muller, co-founder and CEO of the company, will lead the team at the event. The gathering will also bring together representatives from nuclear energy industry chain-related organizations and enterprises to discuss advanced reactor technologies and their commercial applications.

Deep Fission recently conducted a public offering on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "FISN." The company also stated that, through letters of intent signed with data centers, industrial enterprises, and strategic partners, its potential customer projects correspond to a power generation capacity of up to 18.5 gigawatts.

The company is developing a technology pathway called the "Gravity Nuclear Reactor™," which plans to install small modular pressurized water reactors in boreholes approximately one mile deep underground. Deep Fission states that this approach combines proven pressurized water reactor technology with an underground deployment model, aiming to simplify construction processes, enhance safety, and support future commercial scaling. Currently, as a participant in the U.S. Department of Energy's Reactor Pilot Program, the company is advancing its first reactor project in Parsons, Kansas.
