The scale of the unresolved back end

Massive inventories. Massive costs. Decades still ahead.

The U.S. nuclear-waste challenge spans spent nuclear fuel, Hanford tank waste, uranium hexafluoride inventories and Savannah River liquid waste. NuclearSAFE planning estimates place the combined opportunity represented by these selected problem areas at approximately $700 billion.

Four selected U.S. nuclear waste problem areas: spent nuclear fuel, Hanford Washington tank waste, Paducah Kentucky uranium hexafluoride inventories, and Savannah River South Carolina liquid waste
Selected U.S. legacy waste problems illustrate the range of materials, sites, costs and time horizons that require modern disposal technologies.

The common denominator is not a lack of spending.It is the need for technologies that move difficult waste streams from prolonged management toward engineered disposal pathways.

One platform. Three systems.

A triple-threat technology architecture.

SuperLAT®, CinGOT™ and SuperSILO® form an integrated platform built to address spent nuclear fuel, high-level waste and other difficult radioactive waste forms.

Technology leadership

Not another repository developer.

NuclearSAFE develops the technologies, systems, IP and engineering architecture that can enable future disposal programs. The company is positioned as a platform innovator—not a conventional mine builder, storage contractor or long-term caretaker.

01

Platform-level integration

Waste form, repository, deployment, retrieval, monitoring and closure technologies developed as one ecosystem.

02

Industrial technology transfer

Adapting mature drilling, automation, metallurgy and manufacturing capabilities to nuclear waste challenges.

03

Patent-backed differentiation

A broad, non-duplicative IP base that demonstrates sustained engineering innovation.

A different operating model

Others need a town on the surface and a village underground.

NuclearSAFE advances surface-operated, automated systems intended to reduce underground labor, surface disruption, construction duration and long-term operating burden.

Horizontal drilling activity and SuperLAT deep horizontal repository concept
Industrial horizontal drilling provides the operating foundation that SuperLAT adapts for a new nuclear mission.
Industrial maturity at scale

This technology works.

In the last 10 years, SuperLAT-type horizontal drilling systems used across oil and gas operations have drilled more than 250,000 horizontal wells and an estimated 4.5 billion feet of wellbore. This is a powerful industrial-maturity benchmark.

SuperLAT does not ask the nuclear industry to invent deep horizontal drilling. It adapts a mature industrial capability to the specific requirements of nuclear-waste disposal.

Beyond the primary platform

The technologies around the technologies.

NuclearSAFE's secondary portfolio addresses waste conditioning, alternative geologies, transport, retrieval, automated operations, site intelligence, closure and specialized radioactive materials.

The origin of an industry

Deep horizontal disposal began with Dr. Henry Crichlow.

U.S. Patent 5,850,614 established the foundational concept of disposing high-level radioactive waste in deep horizontal wellbores.

That invention helped launch a new industry. NuclearSAFE now extends the original insight into an integrated platform spanning advanced capsules, repository construction, automation, retrieval, geologic systems and permanent closure.
