  1. #Kansas town is getting an underground #nuclear reactor [whether they like it or not!]

    Story by Jessie Williams, July 29, 2026

    "A pilot project to bury a #NuclearReactor one mile underneath a town in Kansas has split the opinion of local residents, with some fearing the #EnvironmentalImpacts while others hope it will create economic opportunities.

    "The so-called #GravityReactor is being proposed by #DeepFission, a California-based start-up from a father-daughter duo, #LizMuller and #RichardMuller, emeritus professor of physics at University of California, and an inventor.

    "It will be the first time a commercial nuclear reactor operates underground.

    "The startup has raised around $150 million in the past year, with $40 million of that going to fund the work in #ParsonsKS, a rural town in Kansas with a population of 9,600.

    "So far Deep Fission has drilled one test hole with a second due to be completed this year, and a full-scale prototype canister intended to test installation procedures.

    "Their plan is to send the canister loaded with nuclear fuel into a third hole to heat water a mile underground and generate electricity on the surface in 2027 or 2028.

    "But some people in Parsons are worried about the short time frame by industry standards and the impact on the #environment and their #WaterSupply.

    "Each reactor would generate 15 megawatts of electricity from inside a 30-inch borehole, enough to power 12,000 homes. But Muller wants 100 or more reactors, providing more than a gigawatt – which would be enough for a #datacentre.

    "The design relies on established pressurised water reactor technology, but with the reactor one mile underground, Deep Fission says it could remove some of the most expensive parts of conventional #NuclearPlants, as rock and water pressure could replace some costly #safety structures, such as #cooling and #containment.

    "Nuclear only generates about a fifth of US electricity, but the Trump administration is seeking to kickstart a '#NuclearRenaissance,' aiming to quadruple America’s nuclear-power generation by 2050. It comes amid skyrocketing demand for electricity, mainly driven by data centres for AI."

    Only Certified Chinese products are allowed on planes. Other long-established global safety certifications are a mark of inferiority.

  24. Found an old hard hat with half dozen safety stickers. I had to replace for a site which did not allow stickers.

    Last few days, I had to watch a safety video and it included saying do not put stickers on your hat as it may cover cracks. Meanwhile same video showed many people in the background with stickers. IOW, industry has not really figured this out.
