Three technologies.
One permanent mission.
SuperLAT®, CinGOT™ and SuperSILO® are complementary systems designed to modernize the management and disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste.
It’s wellbore, not borehole.
NuclearSAFE deliberately uses the term wellbore because SuperLAT® is conceived not as a passive hole in the earth, but as a fully engineered subsurface operating system.
In the oil and gas industry, wellbore has for decades described the designed conduit through which drilling, casing, cementing, logging, pressure control, tool deployment, completion, intervention, re-entry, retrieval, monitoring, and ultimately plugging and abandonment are performed. By contrast, borehole remains common in geoscience, academic, and some nuclear-disposal literature, where it often denotes a drilled opening used primarily for subsurface access, characterization, or emplacement.
Some newer deep-disposal developers—including organizations whose technical origins lie outside the operating oilfield tradition—continue to describe complex disposal systems as “boreholes.” NuclearSAFE uses wellbore intentionally: SuperLAT is built upon the language, engineering discipline, equipment, operating practices, fail-safe systems, and accumulated field experience of the global drilling industry.
Deep horizontal repository technology.
SuperLAT adapts modern horizontal drilling to construct deep, long lateral disposal zones from the surface—with no underground workforce and minimal permanent surface presence—in weeks, not years or decades.
Extreme depth
Repository concepts extending more than 10,000 feet below the surface.
Long lateral capacity
Horizontal sections extending up to approximately 15,000 feet.
Retrievable by design
Designed to preserve future access during a defined stewardship period.
The final engineered waste form.
CinGOT is a copper-dominant system intended to encapsulate intact spent-fuel assemblies in a robust, integrated form ready for handling, transport and disposal.
Copper-dominant architecture
Designed for long-term structural integrity and corrosion resistance.
Rapid manufacturing
Engineered for repeatable industrial production without disclosing confidential process details.
Integrated protection
Moves beyond conventional boxes and containers toward a final engineered waste form.
Deep geologic silos for difficult waste forms.
SuperSILO uses a vertical pilot wellbore and a larger under-reamed geologic volume for stabilized liquid, slurry, granular and other difficult radioactive waste streams.
Stabilize
Convert waste into an engineered form suitable for controlled injection or placement.
Dispose deeply
Place stabilized waste thousands of feet below the surface in selected formations.
Close permanently
Apply engineered closure technologies intended to restore long-term disposal.
One technology ecosystem.
| Waste challenge | NuclearSAFE technology | Core function | Strategic outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spent nuclear fuel assemblies | CinGOT™ + SuperLAT® | Encapsulate and dispose | Integrated disposal pathway |
| Liquid or semi-liquid HLW | SES + SuperSILO® | Stabilize and place deeply | Reduced long-term surface burden |
| Repository deployment | Walking rigs + automation | Build from the surface | Faster, safer, scalable operations |
| Long-term stewardship | Monitoring + retrieval + closure | Manage lifecycle | Engineered permanence |
