Deep Fission, Inc.

Deep Fission, Inc. (Nasdaq: FISN) is an advanced nuclear energy technology company focused on developing and deploying small modular pressurized water reactors. The company's innovative approach involves placing these reactors in boreholes approximately one mile underground. This method leverages subsurface conditions, including hydrostatic pressure from a water column and surrounding geological formations, to support reactor operation, cooling, structural confinement, and shielding. This design aims to reduce reliance on large surface containment structures and other safety infrastructure associated with conventional nuclear power plants. Deep Fission's technology, which they refer to as the Gravity Reactor, integrates established pressurized water reactor technology with proven geothermal components and deep borehole drilling techniques. This integration is intended to simplify construction, enhance safety, improve security, and enable faster deployment timelines, ultimately leading to lower capital and operating costs compared to traditional nuclear facilities. Each 3x3 Gravity Reactor is designed to produce up to 15 megawatts of electric power output. The company was founded in 2023 by Elizabeth and Richard Muller and is currently building its first reactor in 2026, having been selected for the Department of Energy's Reactor Pilot Program. Deep Fission's commercialization strategy involves a phased deployment plan, with a goal for commercial operation between 2027 and 2028. The company's focus is primarily within the United States, addressing growing electricity demand from utilities, industrial customers, and data centers.
